This annual event highlights the incredible work happening in classrooms and on campuses across Central Florida to make sustainability a daily part of student learning and school operations. From recycling initiatives to energy efficiency projects, students and educators are proving that small steps can create big, lasting change.
FBA’s Commitment to Schools and Sustainability
As part of our ongoing mission to support communities and protect Florida’s environment, FBA provides direct sponsorship for this recognition program and offers additional grants to schools across the state. OCPS has also been a proud past recipient of our FBA Community Grant, which helps fund innovative sustainability projects and inspire the next generation of environmental leaders.
These investments go beyond financial support – they reflect our belief that young people are key to building a cleaner, more sustainable future. By celebrating and empowering their efforts, we’re ensuring that students understand the value of conservation and are equipped to make a difference both today and tomorrow.
Recognizing Excellence
This year, we extend a special congratulations to Horizon West Middle School, named the first-place winner of the 2024 Green Schools Awards! Their creativity, leadership, and commitment to sustainability set a powerful example for schools across the state.
We also applaud every one of the 47 schools that participated in this year’s program. Each represents a strong step forward in protecting Florida’s natural resources while enriching student education.
Looking Ahead
We are committed to supporting schools and communities as they embrace innovation and sustainability. Whether through event sponsorships, grant funding, or collaboration with educators – we are proud to play a role in helping students and teachers drive positive change for our environment.
