Every year to mark the anniversary of the March 18, 1937 Texas School Explosion , I salute a Healthy Schools Hero whose inspirational leadership protects children and teachers from school hazards and unhealthy school conditions.

Today, Diane Ethier, of Pomfret Center, CT, is a Healthy School Hero because she is an environmental health resource and mentor to hundreds of people. In a variety of roles, she helps others to break the silence about school hazards and to overcome the pervasive denial and indifference about school conditions that lead to serious illness in schools. Her courage, her skill as a communicator, and her persistance are bringing the Lessons of the 1937 Texas School Explosion to school systems in her state and far beyond.
