Hobe Sound Elementary school set the precedence for the Martin County Green Schools. The work we did in environmental education, energy conservation, wildlife management, and recycling has made an impact upon our students, staff, parents, and community. We are now part of the Everglades Champion School program. This program's goal is to make Everglades conservation a core part of our school culture! The K-5 Everglades Champion Schools Program is an exciting interdisciplinary program developed by "The Everglades Foundation" that annually showcases and recognizes Florida schools that demonstrate exceptional Everglades literacy efforts and initiatives.

Hobe Sound Elementary School was the first in the nation to be a fully certified Audubon Sanctuary Program. In conjunction with the Hobe Sound Nature Center, Hobe Sound Elementary School uses environmental education and conservation efforts in its quest for students to become environmental stewards.
