Meet Our Students

Environmental Immersion

In 11th grade, the civic engagement framework is environmental justice, culminating in a couple significant projects.
 
Poster Competition
In collaboration with our partners at the Ocean Conservancy, small groups of 11th graders participated in a poster competition to highlight the negative impact of microplastic pollution on people, animals, and the environment and ways to address pollution in marginalized communities. The top three groups will have their posters displayed at Ocean Conservancy and in their online gallery: 1st - Water Pollution in the Chesapeake Watershed, 2nd - Watch Out for Our Bay, 3rd - Plastics in Our Waters.
Workshop Week
From May 20-23, juniors engaged in full-time study of environmentalism, natural resources, and advocacy. Kamilah brought in an incredible range of keynote and guest speakers from Friends of Anacostia Park, National Aquarium, City Wildlife, Sierra Club, and the EPA, among many others. Students spent Wednesday on the water and by the coast in Annapolis, ending with extracting DNA from strawberries and building oyster cages! Students wrapped up the workshop by presenting advocacy plans and policy proposals based on everything that they learned during the week.
