What better way to study the environment than beginning with our own “backyard?” The Academy of Technology, Environmental and Systems Sciences (TESS) will provide students the opportunity to learn about earth and its relationship to human society while using technology as an important component of their studies. Students who have an interest in horticulture, landscaping, architecture, and engineering will have many hands-on opportunities toexplore these careers.Concentrating on the concept of “green schools,” students will be involved in the modernization process of Northwood High School, while learning how to conserve energy
and reduce consumption of resources in their own building.
