Teachers and Students of Healthy Zone Schools

The Healthy Zone School Recognition Program

Children are our future and our best investment.

The Cooper Institute® and United Way of Metropolitan Dallas have come together to promote health in schools with the Healthy Zone School Recognition Program®. This program gives schools resources to engage teachers, students, parents, and the broader community in a joint effort to improve the health of their communities.

To connect and interact with other schools and access resources, we encourage you to register here.

The application process for the Healthy Zone School Recognition Program has ended. Schools selected for the program will be announced in May 2013.

We encourage you to continue to browse through the website to access resources and information about how to increase the health culture at your school.
