The Alliance for a Healthier Generation’s 2016 list of America’s Healthiest Schools featured five schools from Hall County out of the 328 nationally honored schools. The Southern Regional Celebration honored the five schools Nov. 4 for their efforts providing healthy options for students, availability of nutritious foods and access to quality physical education opportunities. All five schools — East Hall Middle School, Johnson High School, Lanier Elementary School, Martin Technology Academy and South Hall Middle School — were bronze-level winners.
