Penny Harvest Schools of Excellence is an annual distinction awarded to a select group of schools that have demonstrated their commitment to and understanding of all phases of the Penny Harvest: Gathering Pennies, Making Grants and Taking Action.  

Schools of Excellence exemplify the very best of the Penny Harvest, ranging from creating a student leadership team that engages the school community and builds connections with the greater community, to creating opportunities for student leaders and other students to develop their skills and community-mindedness.

Schools of Excellence submit applications in May that are reviewed by the Common Cents New York City Advisory Board. A Penny Harvest School of Excellence is a year-long honor of ongoing recognition opportunities.
