Seal of Climate Literacy

Lake County School District students who have shown competency in the Climate Literacy Principles have the opportunity to add a Seal of Climate Literacy Endorsement to their diploma. Proficiency is demonstrated by passing two high school level courses, one being a high school science course and one being any other course that addresses climate literacy principles. In addition, students must show evidence of a culminating project that demonstrates their understanding of climate change and their ability to apply that knowledge in a real-world context. Students must present their final experiential learning project to a group of their peers, teachers, board members, or community.
