Hillsboro High School was one of 14 schools to participate in the 2010 Kansas Envirothon May 12 at Southwestern College, Winfield.

The outdoor competition for high school students allows them to learn about and be tested on soils, forestry, wildlife, aquatics, and a current issue. This year’s current issue was “Protection of groundwater through urban, agricultural, and environmental planning.”

Holton High School was the winning team and will represent Kansas at the Canon Envirothon at Fresno, Calif.
