School Environment Awards

The Schools Environment Awards program is designed to encourage students’ environmental efforts and instill pride in the appearance of their campuses. Participation is fun, educational and rewarding for students, teachers, administrators and school volunteers.

The program focuses on campus beautification, environmental and recycling projects and encourages students to make a commitment to a litter free school. A volunteer judge visits each school every month to evaluate the school’s participation.

Schools may select any grade level to serve as the program leader for implementing SEA programs. Judging for each award period will be in the second week of the month prior to the award month.

CONTEST DETAILS: Awards begin the first week of October and continue through May. Winning schools will have an award sign posted in front of the school and will receive a framed certificate commemorating the award. At the end of the school year, environmental prizes worth $100 will be awarded to the top scoring school in each of the north, central and south areas of the county, and a $50 cash prize will be awarded to the second highest scoring schools from each of the three areas.
