Every community across the country deserves the best possible schools—with clean air, good lighting and acoustics, and thermal comfort—that improve student performance, reduce the amount of energy consumed, and are less expensive to run in the long run. Together, we can make this happen!

CHPS Members are a big part of our collaborative!  Occupying diverse communities from all across the country, each member contributes a wide-range of ideas, unique perspectives, and helpful resources that help drive our mission.

  • Helping under-resourced schools identify, prioritize, and implement incremental – but critical – improvements that will meaningfully improve the health and wellbeing of their students 
  • Enabling more schools to improve their physical environment by connecting them to funding sources and providing guidance on how to best use it
  • Reaching more school districts to advise and empower them to improve their student’s learning environments and drive better outcomes
  • Educating more school districts on what practical steps they can take to bridge student health and community environmental priorities  

And, we will continue providing the tools, educational materials, best practices, specifications, and 3rd party verification on the design, construction, and operation of high-performance schools.
