Wayne Highlands Schools Are
Keystone Healthy Zone
All Wayne Highlands Schools are Keystone Healthy Zone Schools.
Wayne Highlands has joined over 1000 schools across Pennsylvania in supporting healthy eating and physical activity to improve health and academic performance.
Every Wayne Highlands School has been designated a Keystone Healthy Zone School and will be displaying the above banner for the 2005-06 year. The banner reads 2005-06 because the schools are being recognized for the policies and practices reported for this school year. However, the recognition stands through the following school year, 2006-07.
