Last trimester, the Mountain Ecology students began to research specific ecosystem restoration projects that could be initiated on campus within the School’s theme of sustainability.  Most students had a great start and which they revisited with fresh eyes in the first weeks of the winter trimester.

On Friday, December 9, 2016, each student provided a five-minute sales pitch of their theoretical project for the school in a presentation format similar to the TV show “Shark Tank.” They presented their ideas to a group of “investors” who would assess each project’s feasibility as well as the general quality of the presentation. The investors included Headmaster Trip Darrin, Associate Headmaster Kevin Miller, Director of the Outdoor Program Tony Brown, Facilities Director Ed Blain, English teacher Dan Dunsmore, Academic Dean Jamie Bourland and Director of Communications & Marketing Hilde Keldermans.

Each proposal was rated and the top two will be put in motion later this year.
