Green and Healthy Schools

The GHS Program is a joint initiative of Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful and GCPS and provides integrated environmental education, incorporating applications of Science AKS, problem solving, civic skills, and green career pathways.

There are many benefits to being a Green and Healthy School, such as- Engaging students in environmental problem solving, right on the school grounds; Eligible to apply for a mini grant for environmental education projects; Connecting schools to community partners and experts to take learning beyond the classroom walls; Building environmental stewards – on and off the school grounds; Recruiting community experts to serve as speakers or mentors for student; Opportunities to participate in community events related to green school programming; Knowing you are helping to protect our environment and reduce our impact on the natural world; Green and Healthy Schools are recognized every school year

Each school should have a designated Environmental Education Teacher Liaison(s) that helps guide your school's green efforts throughout the year. The liaison(s) captures the great things your school accomplished (2025-2026 school year), by completing and submitting a Profile. Your school will now be registered with the Green and Healthy Schools Program.

The Profile is a form that is completed to register your school with the Green and Healthy Schools Program. This Profile should be completed at the end of each school year. This form has several sections and is relatively short to complete, this will most likely require input from others.
