Hillsdale High School is on a Mission
Feeding a Community in Need
During the Pandemic, food insecurity was on the rise. In order to continue to serve the community at large, Hillsdale High School expanded the Peace Pantry to meet the demand of those in need.
Where is the Problem?
Hillsdale High School has one other BIG mission it is on
They along with the rest of the San Mateo Union High School District are pledging to tackle climate issues within their district to combat climate change.
Some words from their sustainability page:
Successful advocacy campaign and unanimous passage of SMUHSD Declaration of Climate Emergency by SMUHSD Board of Trustees. The resolution addresses green buildings, operations and transportation, food service, climate literacy, waste management, and goals for net-zero. This campaign was led by SMUHSD students (also Youth Commissioners): Atiya Shah, Maram Ahmed, and Lillian Chang.
How does sustainability relate to the Peace Pantry?
Dave Emanuel, Hillsdale High’s Sustainability Facilitator, dreams of growing their own food for the peace pantry with the expansion of the community garden. In order to make this dream reality, they need a new source of renewable water to feed the garden.
