The program "links the principles of art, history, language arts, technology, biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics to environmental concepts," he added.

Jefferson Township High School is surrounded by forest and parkland, "providing the perfect backdrop for
studying about the environment," according to Ragonese.

"Because of its unique placement, experiential learning can occur right outside the door," he said.
