Three CCPS schools named among nation’s healthiest

An organization has named three Christian County Public Schools among America’s healthiest schools.

The Alliance for a Healthier Generation’s added Christian County Middle School, Hopkinsville High School, and South Christian Elementary School to the prestigious list, joining Christian County High School and Sinking Fork Elementary as members.

A news release says other schools in the district are working through the application process.

Christian County Public School System Health and Nursing Coordinator Megan Kidd says, “All schools at CCPS utilize the Alliance for a Healthier Generation program to monitor the health and wellness activities in each school. Studies show healthy students perform better academically, have better attendance, and behave better in class.”
