Registration for the Healthy Schools Recognition Program opens September 15th, 2025.
Who should register?
Registration should be completed by a school's Healthy Schools Lead. School administrator approval is required to register.
The Healthy Schools Lead can be a staff member of the school who champions Healthy Schools in their community and serves as a key contact for the Healthy Schools Recognition Program. The Healthy Schools Lead does not need to be an expert with the Healthy Schools Process. In fact, they may be new to Healthy Schools and have an interest in promoting health and well-being in their school community. In most instances, the lead will be a teacher from the school, but they may also be a different staff member, such as an early childhood educator, guidance counsellor, an administrator, or a community partner such as a public health nurse. Consider co-leadership with a student(s) who might be interested in taking on a larger leadership role.
