Combs Elementary

Leadership Model at Work: Fruits of Our Labor
A.B. Combs Leadership Magnet Elementary integrates the philosophies of The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People into a model replicated at 1400+ schools worldwide. The model will be leveraged as students design, plant and teach other students in the garden.

"STEMS" in the Garden
This garden will be an additional and unique site for active learning incorporating science, technology, engineering & math (STEM) curricula focused on sustainability in the food system. Combs is recognized as a STEM elementary school. 900+ students will learn about where food comes from, be active in the garden and connect scientific concepts to sustainable food production while doing so. Curricula developed through the garden will be shared widely with other school gardens.

Fostering Relationships
This garden grows from exciting partnerships between our school and community, including NCSU. Our partners' support ensures the garden's success/sustainability.
