The 2008-2009 School year is looking to be a breakthrough year for Environmental Education opportunities for our students!

All of Soldier Hollow is an Idle Free Zone. This year’s Idle Free Campaign will kick off after Thanksgiving break! Watch for more information from our students!
The E-Patrol is on the job!
The 2008-2009 E-Patrol was sworn in on Friday, November 14, 2008. This group of 18 dedicated students will be trained in vermiculture, recycling, composting, and other special projects. These students will be available to help SHCS students as they participate in our recycling and composting programs. The E-Patrol has been chosen because of their responsible nature and dedication to the school and our environmental mission.
