Green & Healthy Schools Wisconsin is web-based, self-paced, voluntary, and available to all Wisconsin PK-12* public and private schools. The program is administered through a partnership between the Department of Natural Resources, Department of Public Instruction, and Wisconsin Center for Environmental Education. Green & Healthy Schools Wisconsin provides information, resources, and announcements for all school staff, community members, and others interested in green and healthy initiatives and activities for Wisconsin schools.
Through this program, schools can find support to get started or continue to move forward and receive recognition for green and healthy measures already put in place, such as integrating environmental education in the curriculum, upgrading to efficient fluorescent lighting fixtures or attaining LEED or Energy Star Certification.
*Public school 4K or 5K programs in community locations are eligible for Green & Healthy certification, even if they serve a wider age range. Child care and Head Start centers on their own are NOT eligible for US Department of Education Green Ribbon Schools recognition.
