Athenian High School Takes Charge
ACE Students
|November 4, 2009
Athenian High School in Danville, CA, was just one of several ACE Action Grant-winning schools last spring!
With solar panels already in place, we wondered how Athenian planned to take it to the next level. As we read over their application it became clear: these students are determined to transform their school!
With an on-site organic garden producing 1200 pounds of food for students each year, an electric car and a biodiesel reactor in the works, Athenian High School students are showing us what it means to lower your emissions and raise your voice on a whole new level!
