The HealthierUS School Challenge (HUSSC) is a voluntary initiative to recognize those schools
participating in the National School Lunch Program that have created healthier school environments through
promotion of nutrition and physical activity.
“We enjoyed the HealthierUS Schools Challenge and would encourage any other school to participate because it brought
awareness and helped to focus on healthier alternatives. Sometimes we get stuck in a rut
and this challenges you to try new things.”
