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.
