Community Schools
We are excited to continue connecting resources and organizations in Old South Baton Rouge to McKinley High School, and to continue exploring ways we can serve the community as a school.
Currently, we are working on building student and faculty run gardens on school grounds, with partnership of CPPEX, to be used as models.
