Georgia Green & Healthy Schools

What is the purpose of the data summary form?

This GGHS Data Summary is designed to allow students to summarize information gained in the Self Assessment. Based on the information you collected in the Level 1 Self-Assessment, complete the following questions as a class and submit by following the directions at the end.

Unlike the self-assessment, the Data Summary is submitted to the Georgia Green and Healthy Team. By using the information from this data summary, the GGHS team will be able to help your school identify areas of improvement that could help make your school “green and healthy!” The Georgia Department of Natural Resources will use the information reported in the Data Summary to track positive environmental improvements that occur in Georgia schools as a result of their participation in the GGHS program.

How do we complete the data summary form?

This is an interactive, protected document. You may fill in all grey form fields with as much text and information as you need.

Data entered into this document can be saved by clicking “File → Save As”. If you require assistance using this document, please contact us. Please see the instructions for submitting the data summary form at the end of this document.
