Five of our Isaac Scholars attended the first City of Phoenix Sustainability Officer Orientation. The purpose of a Sustainability Officer is to enhance their campus through promoting practices that reduce environmental impacts while educating their fellow classmates on these initiatives. Students met and collaborated with Mayor Kate Gallego, Chief, and Student Engagement Coordinators for the State of Arizona. These students will be leading Career and Technical Education (CTE) Sustainability Projects at our school sites.
We are proud and look forward to the great successes our City of Phoenix Middle School Sustainability Officers will accomplish this year.
