California Green Ribbon Schools Award
On Earth Day, Priory was awarded a 2020 California Green Ribbon Schools honor by the U.S. Department of Education. Priory was only one of five schools in the state to be identified as a “Green Achievers” honoree, which is the highest level of recognition that the school can achieve. Priory is also this year’s CAPSO (California Association of Private School Organizations) honoree, which signifies that Priory is the only private school recognized at the national level.
According to Sustainability Coordinator Hovey Clark, “the award recognizes our efforts in sustainable campus operations and green building, our commitment to health and wellness in all sectors of the school community, and the school’s educational program which balances STREAM, service learning, and stewardship.” In August, Mr. Clark will take part in a Virtual Celebration Week sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education to receive the honor for the school.
