Each student on an Envirothon team is challenged to test their knowledge of soils, forestry, wildlife, aquatic ecology and current environmental issues. The following schools proudly represented Highland County by participating in this year’s Envirothon; Lynchburg-Clay High School, coached by Lara Hamilton; and Greenfield McClain High School, coached by Ashley Kesler.
The top four scoring teams from each Area Envirothon are eligible to compete in the State Envirothon, and this year the Lynchburg-Clay Gold team successfully scored high enough in the Area 5 competition to receive the honor of competing in the State contest to be held on June 12-13 at the Ohio Christian University in Circleville.
