During my senior year at White Oak High School, I decided to start the Green Team because I realized, more than ever, how important environmental issues have become. My initial interest was sparked by the Earth and Environmental Sciences class taught by Mr. Dillman. I learned so much in the class, and I quickly decided that I needed to take action. My hope for the club was to spread awareness throughout the high school about environmental issues, and to create projects where students could be directly involved in making a positive impact on the environment. With the help of Mr. Dillman, all Green Team Members, the support of the community, and successive presidents, I believe we achieved those goals. Today, the Green Team continues to grow, continues to make changes, and continues to set an example so community members, students, and staff will uphold their support and take part in making the world a clean and safe place to live.
