Ecofest is hosted by Students for Environmental Awareness (SEA). Our mission is to Think Locally, Act Globally. We raise awareness for environmental causes, and how everyone can make a difference.
What better way to raise awareness than an Earth Day festival bringing the whole school together around peace and community. SEA has worked tirelessly to secure space, funding, and partner organizations to make this the best EcoFest yet! This year we have a week of events planned, with the biggest being the Earth Day Festival, celebrated on April 23rd.
