The Earth Heroes at School program celebrates King County students, teachers, staff, and volunteers who implement projects at their school or beyond to protect our environment. This recognition program occurs every other year.

Winners are honored at a reception featuring entertainment, refreshments, and presentation of awards. The 2016 awards were presented by King County Solid Waste Division Director Pat McLaughlin.
