Earth Day was founded in 1970 to protest the degradation of the environment and has grown into a worldwide event with over a billion people worldwide participating annually.  

This Earth Day, we are calling on the Columbus City Schools community—students and teachers, staff and the surrounding community—to take a stand for clean air, clean water, renewable energy, and the protection of our health and our children’s futures. 

We are holding events at schools around the district.  Together, we’re building community and sending a message that the CCS community cares about sustainability and resiliency.
