HCPSS Schools Honored as 2023 Maryland Green Schools

April 25th, 2023

This year, two Howard County public schools, Patapsco Middle School and Worthington Elementary School, became newly certified as Maryland Green Schools, by the Maryland Association for Environmental and Outdoor Education (MAEOE).

Homewood Center has been recognized as recertified and both Mount View Middle School and Veterans Elementary school have achieved Sustainable School Status, having participated in the program for 14 years.

HCPSS has a total of 42 schools participating in the Maryland Green Schools program. The program provides educational opportunities for Pre-K–12 schools that promote responsible environmental stewardship practices and increase awareness of how our relationship with the environment ultimately impacts public health and society.

MAEOE and the Maryland Green School community will host a celebration in May to recognize awardees.
