Sustaining the Future

At Rio Grande High School, students are preparing to lead a more sustainable future through hands-on learning and real-world experiences. As part of the Sustaining the Future K–12 Pathway, students explore environmental STEM topics while developing the knowledge and skills needed for college, careers and life.

From renewable energy and environmental sustainability to agri-science, engineering, design and scientific research, students engage in project-based learning that connects classroom concepts to real challenges facing our communities. Through innovative technologies, community partnerships and inquiry-based instruction, students learn by doing.
