Teaching: 3S
Hi, My name is Caroline, and I'm currently a rising junior at LHS! In the past two years, I've become a superfan of the world's lovely wooden photosynthesizers (aka TREES) while competing in Forestry in not one but two of LHS' most fantastic clubs: Science Olympiad and Envirothon (HIGHLY suggest joining one or both of the two!!). I've also delved into ecology both in school and in Envirothon, and I've thoroughly fallen in love with it. I guess I did something right because last year the LHS team became NCF Envirothon National Champions :)
