Student Learning
Students learn about sustainability through instruction on conservation and natural resources in science, social studies and other areas.
Community partners also provide assistance. For example, the King County Green Schools Program provides assistance, educational resources and recognition for schools. Sustainability Ambassadors inspires students to initiate sustainability goals in their communities and measure performance along the way.

School Sustainability Efforts
Two schools in Lake Washington School District were recognized as 2022-23 Sustaining Green Schools by King County Green Schools in June.
Sixth grade science students at Kamiakin Middle School have been busy working since September on a Campus Ecological Restoration Project.
In early April, the Lake Washington High School (LWHS) Green Team held an after-school event aimed at educating parents, students and other drivers on the environmental impact of idling.
