National Healthy Schools Day 2026​

Since 2002, parents, teachers, school nurses, custodians, advocates, and agencies have promoted National Healthy Schools Day activities nationwide.

Healthy Schools at 30: The Path Forward

Coordinated by Healthy Schools Network, National Healthy Schools Day will be celebrated during the week of April 13, 2026 with a national speaker series focused on past progress and future directions.

Launched 30 years ago, the Healthy Schools movement has helped transform how schools address indoor air quality, toxic exposures, and environmental hazards. This year’s observance brings together policymakers, researchers, advocates, and educators to reflect on progress and advance solutions for the next generation. Together, we will celebrate progress — and help shape the future of healthy learning environments for all children.  All events are FREE, and include Q&A opportunities.
