  • Lois B. Krieger Water Grant 2006
    $482     were used to purchase probe-ware for water quality testing
     
  • The Energy Coalition - Saving Energy At School Program (PEAK) 2006
     $10,000     for an energy saving plan by APES 2005-2006.
    *Students participated in designing a “saving energy at school” plan. The winning group was award $2000 and the  school got $10,000 to implement their plan. The students plan included the installation of Surveyor, a software program that monitors and manages use of network computer systems, on all of CHS’s 600 computers. The software automatically puts unused computers into a sleep mode controlled and monitored at the district office. The software was installed at the beginning of March on half of the schools computers (326 computers). Daily,  CHS realizes $30 in energy savings. Annual savings using Surveyor on all CHS computers is estimated at $10,000. By Summer 2006, all the computers in the school will have the energy efficiency software installed.  Students also created public service announcements about energy efficiency This resulted in 6 well-crafted videos suitable for distribution to students of all ages in all PEAK school districts.
  • Orange County Coast Keepers 2006
    * $127     for our 2006 fieldtrip to Prado Wetlands.  See pictures!
    The coastkeepers provided instruction  prior to the trip and and taught students how water is                      tested in the field. Students had the opportunity to conduct their own tests and in partake in a                    restoration project to save the endangered Least Bell’s vireo.  We planted 265 trees!

    BP A+ for Energy Grant 2006
    *A $10,000 grant was awarded for our “Physics, Energy, the Environment and Solar Car Race!”                  proposal.  Funds are being used for fieldtrips and a multitude of Physics and Environmental                        Science labs that include research in alternative fuels such as wind power and hydrogen power                    and energy conservation throughout the year.  Grant submitted by Graciela Flores (Physics)                      and Araceli Anguiano
