Maspeth High is the fifth New York City school to earn the Green Flag, awarded through the federation’s Eco-Schools USA program, for conducting programs to reduce energy costs and waste, promote green school grounds and encourage students to engage in hands-on scientific learning. The high school’s Green Club, led by biology teacher Aaron Bell, earned the school its Green Flag for a number of programs including facility-wide audits for waste and recycling, desgining educational recycling games at the school’s Halloween carnival and creating an outdoor garden on campus.
