Abstract:
Each of the schools listed here, as recipients of the Healthy Schools Program National Recognition Award, have reached an important benchmark in improving the learning and working environments of students and staff.

Each of the individual school representatives listed here are being honored with the Healthy Schools Program Champion Award for their successes in engaging, motivating and leading others to take steps toward implementing sustainable healthy programs and policies.
The Alliance Healthy Schools Program is proud to recognize these individual and collective accomplishments that positively impact healthy eating and physical activity behaviors in school.
