ABOUT
The Towson High School Environmental Club is committed to bettering our planet, starting here in our very community. Our club is a dynamic group of student advocators and educators committed to the school community, local environment, and beyond. Within the club you are sure to find an environmental initiative that piques your interest, through the exploration of our available committees!
​
If you have an idea for an environment-centered initiative you are passionate about, feel free to pitch it at the next meeting. We are always open to new ideas to help our environment!
In 2021, the club won Towson High School the BCPS Green-60 competition (submissions organized by Julie G., '22 and Miriam D., '23). The club also helped earn BCPS Green School Certification for THS. The club hosts meetings every other Tuesday (calendar page has the most up to date times) where a multitude of environmental subjects are discussed and engaging activities are organized. The club also hosts campus clean ups where members put aside time to pick up litter around the Towson High campus and area.
