Green Schools Quest
Each year, the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC)-Missouri Gateway Chapter challenges public and private schools in Missouri and Southern Illinois to devise and implement (with the help of Green Mentors) the most creative, effective, and no- or low-cost sustainable practices for their schools. Forsyth School has participated in the Green Schools Quest since its inception in 2013/14. Grade 6 leads the project, which places Forsyth in the middle school category. Learn More
