About the U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon Schools awards
The U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon Schools awards began in 2012 following extensive collaboration with national non-profits and other federal agencies to honor schools for their sustainable facilities, health practices and effective environmental education. The award recognizes achievement in three broad categories of sustainable practices:
- Reducing environmental impact of facilities, grounds and operations;
- Improving health and wellness by promoting a healthy physical environment and student and staff wellness practices; and
- Offering effective environmental and sustainability education, including civic learning, green careers and STEM connections.
