High School Honoree – Cielo Cox

A UH senior, Cielo was nominated because she has taken the initiative to lead the Green Club in getting started and organized this year. Over fall break, the Green Club planted a fall garden in the club raised bed behind the school.                                           

Getting to know Cielo Cox:
