Our Work in Tennessee

In Tennessee, we’re making it easier for kids to develop healthy habits.

Nearly 900 schools serving over 508,000 students across the state have joined Healthier Generation's Healthy Schools Program, creating healthier school environments for children to thrive. Since 2007, 44 Tennessee schools have been recognized with National Healthy Schools Awards for their outstanding efforts.

We’ve also made it easier for more than 12,700 youth in 110 out-of-school time programs to eat right and move more through our Healthy Out-of-School Time Initiative.

Success Stories

Hear from champions from just two of the many schools and districts we work with in Tennessee: Jackson-Madison County School System, which has enrolled all of its 27 schools in the Healthy Schools Program; and Beech Bluff Elementary School, which has been enrolled in the Healthy Schools Program since 2009.
