Green Schools

We welcome student involvement. We have and will continue to partner with students, teachers, administrators, PTAs, LSCs, and parents. Ways in which we do this are:

  • Loyola’s incoming freshman work on greening projects in the community.

  • Senn High School students volunteer for projects and receive credit for community actions.

  • Loyola professors including community projects as part of the learning environment for students.

  • Specific environmental or sustainability projects with the help of partners who help supervise the process.
