Congratulations to Chicago Public Schools (CPS) for achieving Gold Certification under the Healthy Green Schools & Colleges (HGSC) Standard, Chicago is the first school district in the nation to be awarded this prestigious recognition. This Healthy Schools Campaign milestone marks a powerful step forward in the national movement to create healthier, more sustainable learning environments through best-in-class facilities management practices.

Healthy Green Schools & Colleges is a first-of-its-kind national program that provides a practical framework to help districts work towards improving indoor air quality, protecting the health of students and staff, and reducing their overall environmental footprint.
