Research Project Mentors

The AC and High School students have partnered with mentors to advise them on their climate change research projects.Mentors meet with the students periodically to discuss their research, helping them consider issues or questions they may not have considered, suggesting sources, and giving them feedback on their work.

Thank you to those individuals who have volunteered their time to work with the students of St. Catherine's Montessori.
