The Texas School Health Program envisions a Texas where all children are healthy, ready to learn and prepared to make healthy lifelong choices. Our mission is to support education and public health partners with impacting school health issues through the use of the "Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child" approach. There is mounting evidence that when schools address students' health needs, they can also improve student performance and alleviate financial constraints.
