CONGRATULATIONS TO THE FOLLOWING SENIORS ON RECEIVING AWARDS/ SCHOLARSHIPS AT THE CTC CEREMONY

 

Hundreds of teachers and professionals throughout Pennsylvania guide high school students through this natural resource environmental education program that combines classroom learning and outdoor activities. This exposure to nature and seeing how humans impact the natural world provide invaluable lessons for understanding ecosystems and our environment.

 

At the Envirothon, teams of five high school students compete in field testing using their knowledge in five topic areas – Soils and Land Use, Aquatic Ecology, Forestry, Wildlife, and Environmental Issues. A current environmental issue is chosen each year as the “hot topic” for the focus of this station.

The teams that represented Hollidaysburg at the Blair County competition were all enrolled in AP Environmental Science. 12 other teams/schools competed in the event. Team 1 from Hollidaysburg placed first overall and had the highest scores in 2 categories. Team 2 from Hollidaysburg placed 4th overall and scored the highest in one category.
