Green Ribbon School Award

Purpose

The aim of the Alabama Green Ribbon School Award is to inspire schools, districts, and institutions of higher education (IHE) to strive for 21st-century excellence by highlighting promising school sustainability practices and resources that all can employ. To that end, the award recognizes schools, districts, and IHEs that:

• reduce environmental impact and costs;

• improve the health and wellness of schools, students, and staff; and

• provide effective environmental and sustainability education

Selection Process

The ALSDE will select up to three public schools, one private school, one school district, and one college or university as our Alabama Green Ribbon School award recipient each year.
