McIntosh High School

McIntosh High School is involved in several initiatives to improve student performance in math, science and language arts. McIntosh is also involved in a history project to preserve the heritage of our community through the creation of a cookbook which will include a historical account of food, cooking and recipes from McIntosh. The goal of the McIntosh High School garden program will be to combine these two initiatives and take science, math and history one step further with a garden featuring heirloom and other edible vegetables and fruits. Students will be growing both heirloom and modern plants and comparing produce for nutritional content and taste. The McIntosh school garden will provide all students at McIntosh a chance to garden several times a month through their health and science classes. The experience of working in a garden and growing food will help students internalize the importance of a strong work ethic and understand the importance of planning and eating healthy meals.
