The goal of the Gulfport School District's Local School Wellness Plan is:

All students in the Gulfport School District will possess knowledge and skills to make necessary choices of nutritious foods and enjoyable physical activities for a lifetime.  All school sites and staff members in the Gulfport School District are encouraged to model healthy eating and physical activity as a valuable part of daily life.

To meet this goal, the Gulfport School District adopts commitments to nutrition, physical activity, comprehensive health education, marketing and implementation.  This plan is designed to effectively utilize school and community resources and to equitably serve the needs and interests of all students and staff, taking into consideration differences in culture.
