Mission Statement

ADOBE CREEK RESTORATION PROJECT & SALMON, STEELHEAD TROUT CONSERVATION FISH HATCHERY
Offers students a creative approach to learning through:

• Integration of science and mathematics with an emphasis on aquatic environmental studies (grades K-12).
• Utilization of hand-on techniques by working in a "live" environment.
• Student-initiated problem solving and higher level thinking.
• Collaboration with peers and mentorship with science and technology experts.
• Involvement of the local and business communities in education.
• Cooperation between students and government officials with a single goal - Save a species from extinction.

YOUTH TAKING ACTION

As part of the ongoing task of educating others on Environmental Awareness, the students of Casa Grande High School are putting a plan in action to incorporate students of all ages, kindergarten through college, into the Adobe Creek Restoration Project: to heal a stream, repair its habitat, and save a fish from extinction.

These students often give up their lunch hours, evenings, and weekends to put in extra hours at the hatchery and in the creek. The jobs they do go far beyond that of taking out the garbage and sweeping the floor. They use the knowledge and skills of well trained marine biologists every time they step into the hatchery or a creek. And though each member is an extraordinary student, it isn't because they are on the honor roll or have a block in every sport. It's because they care enough to meet the challenge and make a difference.
