Caddo Magnet High has officially been recognized by the U.S. Department of Education on earning their Green Ribbon award. This week, Principal Middleton along with school and district representatives received the honor in Washington D.C. This honor is only awarded to a few schools across the country. It's a public engagement initiative for school sustainability that is structured as a federal recognition award. We are so proud of the effort dedicated toward sustainability practices by Magnet students led by instructor Dionne Procell-Brown. These skills can be carried on for generations to make our planet a better place. #WeAreCaddo #EDGRSCeremony
