Full Credential Description

Credo High School in Rohnert Park, California, has embraced the One Planet Living framework to address significant sustainability challenges. Over the past two years, the school has developed a comprehensive One Planet Action Plan aimed at promoting health and happiness among students while fostering awareness of sustainability within the broader community. This initiative is particularly crucial as students face unprecedented environmental challenges, including climate change.

The school was strategically located within SOMO Village, a designated One Planet community, to ensure that the principles of sustainability are integrated into the students' education. This unique positioning allows Credo to prepare its students to become eco-literate and socially conscious leaders. The curriculum is designed to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and community connections necessary to tackle social inequities and environmental unsustainability. By encouraging students to innovate and propose solutions, Credo High School aims to instill a sense of responsibility towards the planet and future generations.

The impact of the One Planet Living framework at Credo is profound. Students express a strong commitment to environmental stewardship, recognizing their role in creating a sustainable future. The integration of these principles into daily education not only shapes the students' values but also empowers them to advocate for change within their communities. This approach has positioned Credo High School as a leader in sustainability education, inspiring students to take action and influence others in their pursuit of a healthier planet.
