She makes her mark on campus and in her community, and now we can help her make her mark on California.
Brea Olinda High School’s Andrea Ramos has been named a finalist in California’s Cox Conserves Heroes program, which honors volunteers who create, preserve or enhance the shared outdoor places in our communities.
An AP environmental science teacher, Ramos turns classroom lessons into real-life experiences, facilitating hands-on learning where students apply what they learn to environmental projects.
Her work is distinguished by partnerships, innovation and integration, teaming up with leading environmental organizations and agencies, including OCDE’s Inside the Outdoors. She includes students of all abilities and opens the door to opportunities that allow all students to become great leaders.
