Envrionmental Club
AFJROTC Cadet Colonel Killian Faulk, Principal Dr. Zachary Barnes, and Environmental Club key members Lily Dendy and Olivia Schull.
In a first-of-its-kind team effort, the Homewood High School Environmental Club and the Air Force Junior ROTC program combined to help clean up and maintain a litter-free campus and its surrounding area.
To formally recognize the collaboration, People Against a Littered State (PAL S) State Clean Campus Coordinator Jamie Mitchell visited students at the high school to welcome them as the newest members PALS. Mitchell briefed the students on the PALS’ goal to create, maintain and implement successful statewide litter prevention programs, which have enhanced every corner of Alabama.
The two HHS organizations will ensure the campus grounds and the surrounding 2-square mile area remains debris-free. The group is under the leadership of Environmental Club members Lily Dendy and Olivia Schull, alongside incoming 2015-2016 AFJROTC Wing Commander Killian Faulk.
“This collaborative effort between the Environment Club and JROTC is wonderful. We’re grateful for the support they are providing, particularly their strength in numbers,” said Dendy.
“I’m excited to see cadets promoting one of our core values of Service Before Self to help clean up our campus to better the students and community who work at Homewood High School every day,” Faulk said.
