So, who's in Biodiesel?

You see the pictures, read about the projects, and become inspired by the group of bio-nauts, but who are they exactly? There are approximately 45 students in the KWHS Biodiesel program and we want you to see each and every one of us as individuals. We each have our own set of ideas, tasks and interests for the KWHS Energy Center, and we want you to have insight to each of us.

First up, Jack Lockwood.


Mr. Lockwood is in the first and second period Biodiesel class and let's just say, he's a beast. Jack has gotten two $1,000 donations from anonymous sources and is continuing to look for more. His main goals? To get money for our classroom and restore the planter boxes. The plants are dead and provide no shade for the building. He and his team are rebulding and repainting the boxes and planting beautiful palm trees in place of the desolate foilage. Seriously, it's surprising they're even somewhat alive. He's also building a concrete block planter box with his team under one of the air conditioning vents to catch the water leaking out and reduce its waste. Jack is an asset to the class and we hope he continues with his ambitious ways!
