HealthierUS School Challenge: Recognizing Excellence in
Nutrition and Physical Activity

USDA established the HealthierUS School Challenge as a way to recognize schools that are creating healthy school environments by promoting good nutrition and physical activity. Schools have the opportunity to become certified as Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Gold of Distinction Schools, depending
on meeting certain criteria. We are pleased to share the names of those elementary schools that have achieved certification as a Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Gold of Distinction School. If you want
more information about how a school earned this status, find that school in our Team Nutrition Schools Database and contact them directly. For additional award winners, please see these previously recognized schools.
