Bringing Public Health to the Classroom
The Public Health in the Schools Initiative connects Montana high school students with the vital work of public health through dynamic classroom presentations, a comprehensive curriculum, teacher workshops, and community health fairs. By highlighting real-world careers and fostering awareness, we aim to inspire the next generation of public health professionals across the state.
Curriculum
Our comprehensive public health curriculum can be accessed via TRAIN Montana, a national learning network that gives Montanans access to a catalog of high-quality public health training opportunities.
If you are new to TRAIN, you will first need to create an account. Once your account is active, navigate to the curriculum by following this link.
These resources are frequently updated, as public health is an ever-changing field. If you notice broken links, please let us know.
Virtual Spring Teacher Workshops
Our spring 2025 virtual teacher workshop was held on May 21 and 22. If you weren't able to join us, send us an email and we'll provide the recording link!
Stay tuned for spring 2026 workshop dates!
