School health teams come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and names (such as school health councils or wellness committees). But they all have a common goal: to rally forces to make schools healthier places for students.

Advance Your SHI Score
» Does your school have a representative committee or team that meets at least four times a year and oversees school health and safety policies and programs?
• Put a plan in place to meet at minimum 4 times a year to bring your score from a 1 to a 2. Evaluate your schools human resources – consider all the voices who could initiate change and bring them to the table. Before you know it, you’ll have scored a 3 and be fully in motion.
