Cesar Chavez HS Advanced Placement Environmental Science Class

Here is a photo of Millie Cowart-Priest's 2005-06 Advanced Placement Environmental Science senior class at Cesar E. Chavez High School. I visited this AP Environmental Science class before my trip to Antartica, and plan to talk with them again in January. I also want to get this class interested in the Megacities Impact on the Regional and Global Environment (MIRAGE-Mex) field campaign in Mexico City, in March 2006. This is an NSF project that will involve many scientists and students from dozens of Universities and national laboratories in U.S., Mexico, and Europe. Chavez HS is the only Environmental Science magnet school in Houston, and is a mere 7 miles from the University of Houston - Main Campus. To learn more about their school take a look at the following website (http://hs.houstonisd.org/chavezhs). I am also hoping that some of these excellent students will think about coming to the University of Houston next fall to major in the Environmental Science or Earth and Atmospheric Sciences programs.
