"We abuse land because we see it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect."

The Value of Environmental Education

Picture
The Highland Community School forest, along with the school’s prairie, wetland, and native gardens, are invaluable outdoor educational resources providing a setting for natural exploration, inquiry, and discovery. Highland students develop and strengthen a sense of place as they work to restore the school forest and learn about their community’s mining and agricultural history when studying the land's history. Fostering a strong environmental literacy and land stewardship ethic is a goal of the Highland School District. Hands-on, outdoor educational opportunities on school grounds and in the community with an educator, such as the Wisconsin Green School Network (WGSN) Fostering Inquiry and Engaging Learners through Discovery (FIELD) educators and Highland teachers, benefits our students.
