Highland Park High School

Now that the weather is nice, our environmental science students are enjoying some outdoor learning experiences. On May 11, we learned about invasive species and their economic, environmental, and human impacts. An invasive species that is impacting our rain garden is the very aggressive and difficult to control mugwort. Our students did a great job clearing out the mugwort from our rain garden so that our native plants can flourish.  Please click on this link and learn how our students were able to idenitfy mugwort for removal.  If you visit our rain garden this summer, please help us remove this culprit too!
