Eleven Neenah Schools Repeat as Wisconsin School Health Award Winners
< Back
For the second straight year, 11 schools from the Neenah Joint School District were among the 68 winners of the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction’s 2017 Wisconsin School Health Awards.
Neenah was tied for the most schools to earn the award of any District. Four Neenah schools were among 36 schools statewide recognized with the gold award as Hoover Elementary, Horace Mann Middle School, Spring Road Elementary and Wilson Elementary received the honor. Hoover has been recognized every year in the award’s five-year history, while Spring Road was honored for the fourth straight year and Horace Mann received laurels for the third straight year.
Shattuck Middle School was the only Neenah school in the silver category. Six schools were recognized as bronze award winners: Alliance Charter Elementary, Clayton Elementary, Coolidge Elementary, Lakeview Elementary, Neenah High School and Tullar Elementary. All of the Neenah schools were honored at the same level as the previous year.
The award signifies a commitment to providing students with the knowledge and skills to make healthy decisions that will contribute to their academic success. Parental and community involvement and staff wellness activities also contribute to the award. The goal is to motivate and empower Wisconsin schools as they create and maintain healthy school environments. The awards will be presented at the Wisconsin School Health Award Ceremony on Dec. 7 in Appleton.
