Project Green Schools Affiliation:
Project Green Schools is finding and supporting tomorrow’s environmental leaders today. We are dedicated to creating healthy, equitable, and sustainably-minded green students, schools, and communities.
Environmental Club creates high-achieving, environmentally focused students to create extraordinary impact in schools, organizations, and communities while getting the recognition they deserve on a state and national level. The NGSS program develops bright, civic-minded, environmentally literate citizens. By establishing a NGSS chapter at Dakota Ridge High School, students will advance their passion for preserving the environment through environmental service projects, leadership, and activism. Essentially, this is the formula:
Dakota Ridge High School starts a NGSS chapter.
Students are inducted as members and leaders are elected.
Each student or the group selects an environmental service project or multiple projects for the year.
Our chapter submits an end of year project report.
Our chapter and students apply for student recognition and awards on the local, state, and national level through NGSS national.
