Environmental Focus
We customize our standards-based curriculum by integrating four pillars of environmental education across all subjects and grades.
Green & Healthy School
We are recognized by the state departments of Natural Resources and Public Instruction for reducing Hawley’s environmental impact.
Bucket Filling
We promote bucket filling: filling each other’s emotional buckets with kindness, fostering happiness, and discouraging negativity.

You can give to Hawley Environmental School with a tax-deductible gift to the Milwaukee Public Schools Foundation, Inc. Be sure to add “Hawley Environmental School” to the Gift Notes and Instructions section.
A traditional program with a unique environmental focus
Hawley students learn to protect and care for the world around them and understand the roles they play as global citizens. In a colorful school setting, children gain an appreciation for
nature and learn the importance of stewardship.
