And The Award Goes to….. Great Falls Public School District is working hard to meet award winning health initiatives. Currently, the district is completing an application to be a Healthier US School. The HealthierUS School Challenge (HUSSC) is a voluntary certification initiative established in 2004 to recognize those schools participating in the National School Lunch Program that have created healthier school environments through promotion of nutrition and physical activity.
