High Impact Learning for
San Francisco High School Students
We believe that connecting student
learning to professional development
allows for a deeper, more engaged
scholastic environment. As a result
we are partnering with the SFUSD to
create a new educational career
awareness program at John
O’Connell High School.
In this pilot program, our staff —
engineers, analysts and project
managers — share real-world
science, technology, engineering
and mathematics (STEM) projects
which are added to the student’s
day-to-day curriculum. Students
learn about green infrastructure,
wastewater treatment, water
conservation and climate change
mitigation while getting exposed
to potential career paths in the
water/wastewater industry.
We are excited to prepare the next
generation of environmental

careers in the City we call home.
