The Environmental Program at Alden High dates back to 1987 with the creation of the Environmental Club, Friends of the Planet.  This group of students and their teacher/adviser, Dave Bauer, joined with the Environmental Science students in 1990 when this class was created at Alden.  Through student-created environmental projects stemming from these two programs, the students at Alden High created and maintain building and district-wide recycling of paper, cardboard, plastic and glass bottles and metal cans; high school composting; energy conservation practices; an Aquatic Classroom; an Environmental Sculpture Garden; and wind turbine and solar panels.
