Thirty-one Kentucky school districts have earned recognition on the Alliance for a Healthier Generation’s list of America’s Healthiest Schools.
The annual honor is awarded to schools that implement practices supporting the health of students, staff and families.
The award evaluates schools across nine key areas: school health services, wellness policy implementation, nutrition and food access, physical activity, health education, social-emotional learning, tobacco-free environments, staff well-being, and family and community engagement. Schools that meet all nine areas receive the All-Star distinction.
To qualify, schools must submit evidence of wellness activities enforced throughout the school year.
The full list of schools and districts can be found on the Alliance for a Healthier Generation’s America’s Healthiest Schools website.
