This study investigates the impact of Pro-Environmental School Culture (PESC) on Green School Implementation (GSI), with Students’ Environmental Awareness (SEA) serving as a mediating variable. The primary objective is to understand how a supportive school culture influences student awareness and the effective implementation of green initiatives. Utilizing a quantitative research design, data were collected from 175 high school students through a structured questionnaire, and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The findings reveal that PESC significantly influences GSI, highlighting that schools with a strong environmental culture are more successful in implementing sustainable practices. Additionally, PESC positively impacts SEA, indicating that a pro-environmental culture enhances students’ awareness of environmental issues. The results further demonstrate that SEA mediates the relationship between PESC and GSI, confirming that increased environmental awareness among students is crucial for the success of green initiatives. This study contributes to the existing literature by providing empirical evidence from Indonesian schools, emphasizing the interconnectedness of school culture, student awareness, and environmental practices. The implications suggest that educational institutions should prioritize fostering a pro-environmental culture to enhance student engagement and promote sustainability. Moreover, policymakers are encouraged to support schools in integrating environmental education and initiatives, ultimately leading to a more sustainable future for Indonesia.
