The U.S. Department of Education recently announced that Palmer Trinity School is among the 2023 U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon Schools award honorees.
Palmer Trinity School was nominated by the Florida Department of Education for its efforts to reduce environmental impact and costs, improve the health and wellness of its students and staff, and ensure effective environmental and sustainability education.
“Our students are encouraged to not only attain individual success, but to use their unique gifts for the service of others,” stated Patrick Roberts, head of school.
“Through an extensive academic program, students are nurtured to not only develop critical thinking and global awareness, but a responsibility to confront the challenges of climate change, develop social skills and healthy habits, and become educated in environmental literacy and sustainability,” he added.
“Our school takes pride in its commitment to making sustainability and the environment a cornerstone of our education,” said Leopoldo Llinas, director of Environmental Stewardship and Science co-chair. “Being recognized for our leadership in this way is a great honor and speaks to how we are preparing our students for meaningful environmental stewardship.”
Across the country, 26 schools, 11 districts, and four postsecondary institutions are being honored for their innovative efforts to reduce environmental impact and utility costs, improve health and wellness, and ensure effective sustainability education. The honorees were named from a pool of candidates nominated by 18 states.
