As part of the Core Values outlined in the School District of Lancaster’s Strategic Plan, Health and Wellness have been identified as one of our five core values. To advance this initiative, we are excited to announce the formation of a district-wide Wellness Committee to provide collaborative and meaningful input into health and wellness initiatives across our schools.
The Wellness Committee will bring together a diverse group of multidisciplinary professionals, including school administrators, food service staff, nurses, counselors, social workers, teachers, parents, students, and community members. Our shared goal is to holistically address the wellness needs of our students, encompassing their physical, mental, and social health.

- Professional Diversity: Members representing various disciplines to address a broad spectrum of wellness needs.
- Specialized Expertise: Experience in areas such as mental health, nutrition, physical activity, or chronic disease management.
- Collaboration and Communication Skills: The ability to work collaboratively across disciplines and communicate effectively with students, families, and staff.
- Commitment to Equity: A focus on addressing disparities in health and education to ensure equitable access to wellness resources and support for all students.
