RE-CERTIFICATION

If your school earned or re-certified its Earth Flag prior to June 2002, you are ready to re-certify! The re-certification program is designed to revitalize your school’s environmental efforts and to provide the most current eco-education since its original Earth Flag certification. Re-certification requirements are:

  • School must have earned its Earth Flag prior to June 2002
  • Same requirements as for Earth flag (see above)


The Earth Flag Program is funded by the DuPage County Environmental Committee.
