Howard County’s largest environmental education program – The Watershed Report Card – reaches 5,000 students from all 13 Howard County High Schools. Students study the biological, chemical, and physical aspects of local streams and complete a scientifically rigorous assessment. The final product of this year-long study is a student-developed, published Watershed Report Card. At the Summit, students turn the table and present their grade to county leaders.
