April 2022

The Student Advisory Council recently completed a community service project at the Outdoor Learning Center, where the Council members planted trees, herbs, and other plants, removed weeds from orchard tree boxes and other areas, painted and cleaned the tortoise habitat, and painted photo sign boards. 

The group of 24 high school students also distributed 36 yards of crushed granite onto the existing nature trails and 24 yards of mulch into orchard boxes and the butterfly garden. The council is comprised of Deer Park High School Students who meet regularly with Superintendent Stephen Harrell to provide feedback and input on school-related issues.

Special thanks to Maintenance employees Timothy Phillips and Jeremy Jarvis, who built the new orchard tree boxes.
