Awards for Excellence in Texas School Health |
 |
The Awards for Excellence in Texas School Health Program recognizes and promotes effective school health programs and initiatives that strive to continually improve the lifelong health of students, staff and the greater school community.
The following guiding principles form the basis from which the program is developed, promoted and implemented each year:
Promoting positive health behaviors in children to minimize the impact of chronic health conditions in adults.
Supporting the philosophy that health promotion must start in early childhood when development of lifetime behaviors and skills begin. Recognizing that school staff can and do play an influential role in modeling positive health behaviors for students. Rewarding schools that demonstrate on-going commitment to preventive practices and collaboration among students, staff and the community at large.
Awards for Excellence is sponsored by the School Health Program of the Texas Department of State Health Services’ (DSHS) Child Health and Safety Group and funded by the Texas Health Institute. Additional awards and winner benefits are gifted by the Texas Pediatric Society Foundation.
Thank you to our wonderful sponsors who without their generous support this program would not be possible.
