Suttons Bay Public Schools has earned its first-ever designation as a Michigan Green School, a statewide recognition awarded by the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) to schools that demonstrate a strong commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainability.

“We’ve been doing this work for a long time through our curriculum, hands-on projects, and community partnerships,” said high school science teacher Julie Goodyke. “This designation really affirms who we are as a district—committed to environmental stewardship and giving students meaningful ways to care for the world around them.

“This recognition reflects the dedication of our students, staff, and community partners to protecting our environment and building a more sustainable future,” said district leadership. “We are especially proud that this is our first year earning this honor.”
