Environmental Charter High School

Posted March 31, 2009

This school is an excellent school. It is a warm environment where a student can feel at ease and comfortable. Not only is it a college prepatory school, but it focuses on environmental issues, and ties that into the classroom. It changes students way of thought in a positive way. Not only are students aware of their actions, but they also think about others, rather than just being self centered. It opens great opportunities to students and prepares them for the real world. As a student at ECHS I can say i will be successful further in life because of this school. I am given rigorous work that challenges me and prepares me for college. I reccomend this school to anyone. Not only does it prepare students for the future, but it teaches them long life values.

I just transfered to this school this year and compared to my past highschool, this one is a lot better. My previous high school was a college prep school, but this school has helped me to open my eyes and want to work harder so I'm able to go to college. ECHS has helped me because not only is it preparing me for college, it helps me to want to go to college. Before I came to this school, I thought about college and no doubt I wanted to go, but what I love about this school is not only do they inform us about college, take us on trips to college, but they help us get into college. everyone at this school is like a family and has each other's back, they make sure to help you get into a four year college. I'm glad to be here.

I feel that this school has a really good curriculum but it could be too much sometimes. I have succeeded through it all because of the great teachers that they have. I have a great college counselor that has assissted me through everything. I was also able to be part of a great program echs is part of. Its called college match. I took trips to the east coast and other places to visit colleges. I have also been part of the green ambassadors. I had the privilage to go to Costa Rica to do a research project. Its a great school if you really care about your grades. If not its really not your school. I mean yes, every school has its bad parts but that is just according what you want from school. If not, this is the school in which you can talk to people about it.

As Barack Obama a transitional agent of change young people are following his lead in trying to make this country a more responsible and respected place. Environmental Charter High School allows students to work tirelessly to teach their communities how to practice sustainable living. I came to ECHS to continue my personal mission, to teach people the consequences of our wasteful practices and how our actions affect our planet. I received my Biology and secondary education degree from Alverno College and became a Nationally Board Certified teacher while at Environmental Charter High School. Teaching biology was wonderful, but I had a gnawing feeling that I had to do more. To create real change, I needed to build something larger than myself . . the Green Ambassador Program -Environmental Charter High School inspire students and parents, but also its staff, I know ECHS is re-creating education and the planet.
