In 2006, twelve area high school students took a Twenty-First Century Business and Entrepreneurship course which teaches triple bottom line practices. Triple bottom line measures the performance of businesses based on three broad sets of criteria: financial performance, social contributions, and environmental impact.

The high school students were given the background knowledge to understand not only how businesses perform financially, but also how they play a role in shaping, and are shaped by, society and the environment. They were challenged to think about how we can measure these three outcomes, and how we make decisions based on them. Finally, they had opportunities to apply new knowledge and skills in real situations by being part of a committed team of Putting Green Park "owners."
