Inspired by the school’s theme, “Growing Peace One Child at a Time,” the NHS Peace Garden is being established as an outdoor learning space that will cultivate deeper academic learning, spiritual inspiration, interfaith community-building and improved health through four main goals:

– STEM Proficiency (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math)
– Environmental Stewardship & Nature Appreciation
– Healthy Communities
– Farm-to-Table produce
