All 15 PVPUSD schools earn America's Healthiest Schools Award; four earn all‑star distinction
Summary
Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified announced that all 15 of its schools received the America's Healthiest Schools Award for meeting standards across nine wellness categories; four campuses earned all‑star recognition for meeting every standard.
The Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District celebrated Sept. 25 after learning that every district school earned the America's Healthiest Schools Award from the Alliance for a Healthier Generation.
Superintendent Dr. Serrano said the award recognizes work across nine areas including social‑emotional learning, staff well‑being, family engagement, nutrition and food access, local wellness policy implementation, physical education, health education, tobacco‑free campus policies, and school health services.
Four campuses — Cornerstone Elementary, Dapple Grey Elementary, Palis Peninsula High School and Palis Verdes High School — were recognized with "all‑star" distinction for meeting standards in all nine categories, Dr. Serrano said. He thanked site teams, the Palis Peninsula Council of PTAs wellness committee and community partners for their role in the application process.
"This recognition belongs to our entire community, students, staff, families and partners who make health and well‑being a daily priority," Dr. Serrano said.
What happens next: District leaders said they will continue to emphasize wellness in staff development and school programming and will share examples of successful practices across sites.
