Abstract This study investigates the environmental attitudes of secondary school students in Aizawl City, Mizoram, against the backdrop of growing ecological challenges and the rising importance of environmental education. A descriptive survey was conducted among 443 students from Classes IX and X, selected using proportionate random sampling from government, private, and deficit schools. The Environmental Attitude Scale (EAS-TH) by Taj (2016) was used to assess students' attitudes across six dimensions: health and hygiene, wildlife, forests, polluters, population explosion, and general environmental concern. Data analysis using mean, standard deviation, percentage, and t-tests revealed that students held moderately positive environmental attitudes overall. Female students and those from private schools exhibited more favorable attitudes, with slight variations also noted between Class IX and X. The findings emphasize the need for inclusive and context-specific environmental education that strengthens awareness and promotes responsible environmental behavior among adolescents.
