Healthy School Action Tool (HSAT)
Healthy School Action Tool (HSAT)
Your school will make many gains toward increased healthy eating and physical activity this year and we want those changes to become part of your school culture! But, in order for that to happen, we need your help to plan for the future. The Healthy School Action Tool (HSAT) is a free resource, provided to school districts by the state of Michigan, that is useful to assess the health of your current school environment.
At the completion of your assessment, you are provided with suggestions to strengthen your school’s health-focused environment and examples of how other Michigan schools have implemented healthy changes.

- Ways to measure how well your existing foundation supports school health.
- Recommendations for highest need topic areas to assess.
- Suggestions for meaningful improvements.
- Assistance in prioritizing actions that make a difference.
- Easy ways to share progress with your team and your stakeholders.
