Lexington High School proudly represented Massachusetts at the National Conservation Foundation (NCF) Envirothon, where their performance highlighted outstanding teamwork and collaboration. The students worked across diverse environmental topics—forestry, soils, water, wildlife, and the current issue—relying on each other’s strengths to tackle complex tests. Their preparation involved fieldwork, research, and practice presentations, which paid off in their ability to think critically and communicate clearly under pressure. Guided by coach Steve Wilkins, the team’s success stemmed from a strong sense of shared responsibility, trust, and dedication—qualities that allowed them to excel at one of the most competitive high school environmental science events, resulting in an overall 1st place win! The team also scored 1st in forestry and soils and 2nd in water and wildlife. A huge thank you to Ecostation Leaders Pam Landry, Kathryn Parent, Felicia Hubacz, Brittany Gutermuth and Maggie Payne and their staff for assisting the team with training.

We are proud of you Lexington!
