Congratulations to Angell Elementary, Rogers Elementary and Berkley High School for being named a Michigan Green School. These three schools are among 343 public and private schools in Michigan that participated in the Green Schools program. To obtain Green School status, schools must complete a certain amount of environmentally friendly activities that fall within the following categories: Reduce/Reuse/Recycle, Energy, Environmental Protection, and Miscellaneous. Each Green School status is connected to how many activities a school completes. Green School status: 10-14 activities; Emerald School status: 15-19 activities; Evergreen School status: 20 or more activities

All three schools achieved Evergreen status for the 2023-24 school year.
