Healthy South Texas Designated Schools

What is a Healthy South Texas Designated Campus?

A Healthy South Texas campus is one that took extra steps throughout the year to offer food & nutrition and/or physical activity programs outside their regular curricula to both students and families. Each school had a set criteria of programs available through Texas A&M AgriLife Extension in order to get the designation provided by Texas A&M, Healthy South Texas and recognition from the county, city, and school district. The designation is sectioned by tiers and each school can work towards reaching a tier 5 recognition by implementing a variety of programs such as: Learn, Grow, Eat & Go, Early Childhood Learn, Grow, Eat & Go!, Teen Cuisine or Mindful Self; plus great adult programs like Maintain No Gain, Step Up, Scale Down and StrongPeople Strong Bodies.
