New high school puts focus on environment, climate change

 Good News Notes:

“A new high school in New Orleans is preparing students for careers in coastal protection and restoration, anticipating a future with ongoing climate change and sea level rise.

New Harmony High School opened in the fall of 2018 and currently serves about 100 south Louisiana students, including 14-year-old Mei Miller. She commutes 30 miles (50 kilometers) one-way from her home in Slidell, Louisiana, to attend New Harmony.

Though just a freshman, Miller said, she already knows she would like to be an engineer working on renewable energy sources and coastal restoration.”
