About the Program: 

ARS has a goal to use a greenhouse as an experiential hands-on tool for students to learn environmental stewardship good nutrition with an emphasis on fresh foods and other science-based lessons. As a campus we have a long-term goal of having a selection of garden-fresh organic vegetables in the school cafeteria. This goal ties in with our mission statement of leading a healthy and well-balanced lifestyle.
