Testimonial

"I credit Todd Katz with setting me on the professional path I follow today in climate work, fourteen years after his initial influence. While he taught biology and AP Environmental Science, his most significant impact came through his mentorship and ability to cultivate curiosity beyond the standard curriculum.

"During my freshman year, Mr. Katz assigned us "the Mycelia Project". This was pivotal for me, and the project helped me recognize that I could make meaningful contributions to environmental challenges affecting both my community and the broader world—a perspective that continues to guide my professional endeavors.

"Mr. Katz's strengths as an educator include his energetic approach to teaching and his consistent belief in his students' capabilities. His innovative thinking encouraged me to consider unconventional approaches to problem-solving and to stretch beyond my comfort zone with new opportunities - like the Ocean for Life program I attended as 1/15 students hosted by NOAA at UCSB, or the Peer Fellowship with ACE focused on student advocacy and education on climate.

"The opportunities Mr. Katz identified for me during my high school years were instrumental in my professional development. His guidance provided a foundation for my current work on climate solutions. His mentorship helped shape my trajectory.

"I am so grateful for Mr. Katz's influence and the role he played in directing me toward a fulfilling career in climate work."
