Soil Building Begins

The Redwood High School Sustainable Agriculture Farm has arrived!


On September 18, 2013, a quarter acre of land on the Redwood campus was reserved by the TUHSD School Board for present and long-term use as a sustainable farm.  The farm will be used as a study site for a number of classes including Ecology, APES, and US History.  In addition, a new course on Sustainable Agriculture is being proposed.
The farm will also be an important community project.  Parents, students, and community members are encouraged to get involved through school, the PTSA and Redwood Foundation, and Campus Beautification.  Partnerships have also been established with local non-profits Global Student Embassy and Next Generation
