The Environmental Charter High School - a school that has started the Surfrider Foundation's Rise Above Plastic Program - has been selected by the White House to compete with 5 other schools in Commencement Challenge to have President Obama give their graduation speech this year.
The school was selected to compete in Commencement Challenge based on this video submission:
The Environmental Charter High School with the support of Surfrider Foundation’s West LA/Malibu Chapter has delivered the Rise Above Plastics message to more than 8,000 people in Los Angeles as well as trained another group of youth in Pasadena to do the same.
After being one of 6 schools selected, it is now up to the public to vote on the top 3 schools - from which Obama will select one. Voting starts today and ends this Wednesday, April 29 at 9pm PST. Please vote. The Environmental Charter HS is on page 4.
