Teacher named Energy Educator of the Year

For 10 years, the over 1,500 6-12 grade students Michelle Howe has taught have been learning about the environment and how they can be good stewards. Students walk away from Howe’s classes understanding how easy it is to keep the same quality of life we have while being environmentally friendly. Howe has a passion for teaching and the environment. She believes that it is important for students to form their own opinions after learning all the facts.
