Program Highlights
In 2022, Queen of Peace School was the only Oregon school to be named a U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon School. The US department of education GRS is a public engagement initiative structured as a federal recognition award for school sustainability. It is intended to promote state and local collaboration regarding school facilities, health, and environmental education.
What does this mean?
