The Potomac Highlands Watershed School 

High School Environmental Forum

Archives
The Potomac Highlands Watershed School's Environmental Forum provides a setting for students and teachers to explore regionally important environmental issues in depth.  Students work both as a class and with other students across the internet to understand problems and to seek solutions that are broadly acceptable to their communities. 

You can see past eForums exactly as they played out by clicking in the links below.  Archived forums for the active eForum topic are hidden beginning one week before Part 2, the multi-school dialogue phase, begins.
