Green Light for GreenTech Academy at Small

Shortly before the winter break our principal, Amy Taylor, received word that our proposal for establishing a Green Tech Academy at Small was accepted by Superintendent Meria Carstarphen. This caps off two years of planning by the Green Team, Mark Kelly, Dr. Sherry Lepine, and Ms. Taylor.

We will be expanding our elective offerings next school year. I will be highlighting the Green electives in upcoming posts. Each course is one semester in length.

Here are the course titles:
