Rooted in our charism call to academic excellence and kinship with creation, we’ve created one of the nation’s first sustainability programs at Bishop O’Dowd High School. The centerpieces of this commitment include the 5,000 square foot Center for Environmental Studies, our 4-acre Living Lab, and integration of environmental sustainability throughout our curriculum (see below for examples).
“Environmental education should facilitate making the leap towards the transcendent which gives ecological ethics its deepest meaning. It needs educators capable of developing an ethics of ecology, and helping people, through effective pedagogy, to grow in solidarity, responsibility, and compassionate care.” (Pope Francis, Laudato Si)
