Be a Michigan Green School!  This is an annual statewide certification program that encourages all public and private schools to participate in easy-to- administer energy saving and environmental activities. Interested schools participate in at least 10 points from 24 broad options. Each year schools apply to earn Green, Emerald, or Evergreen School status by completing environmental activities satisfying 10, 15, and 20 points respectively.

In the Washtenaw/Livingston area, school applications are accepted electronically through this website between January 1st and March 1st.
