Moving Ahead in our Journey Towards Sustainability

Salisbury Academy is honored to be one of just two Green Schools of Excellence in North Carolina and, as of this year, the first school in history to achieve the recognition twice. It was a great pleasure to welcome Catawba College and NC Greens Schools guests for a Green Chapel this spring. Colleen Smiley of NC Green Schools presented SA with a renewal of our Green School of Excellence status. Thank you to NC Green Schools and Catawba College for your partnership and support of our journey towards sustainability!

Thank You Partners

Salisbury Academy's extensive environmental outreach and exposure is much in thanks to our community partners: Rowan Soil and Water Conservation District, Catawba Ecological Preserve and Catawba College, NC Green Schools, and Happy Roots.
