Wake Green Schools Partnership
Would you like to learn how teachers and community partners are greening school campuses and increasing students' environmental literacy? Do you want to connect with others who have information and resources to help make your ideas happen? We invite teachers, administrators and community partners to join the Wake Green Schools Partnership. Learn and share about green stormwater infrastructure, waste reduction, composting, renewable energy, environmental literacy, wildlife habitats and more!

Earth Day 2022
In honor of Earth Day, we created an Environmental Change Makers Video Challenge. The goal of the challenge was to highlight environmental projects and efforts happening at schools in Wake County. Students across WCPSS created 2 minute long videos that show what environmental projects they have taken on, and why they are important. See the schools below!
