We think Ocean Avenue high school is a great school because it has a very green environment. Since a lot of our school is powered by alternative energy it makes the school a better place and it also would be less expensive. Having a green school is simple and cheaper so more schools should start to go green. We think our school would work because we have solar power and geothermal energy so if we ever need a back up there is one. Conclusion
