Adopt a Highway

The High Road School of Delaware is proud to announce that we will be participating in the Delaware Department of Transportation’s “Adopt a Highway” Program. The program is part of Delaware’s Anti-Litter Campaign to make the community a better place. The purpose of the program is “to educate citizens of all ages about the responsibilities of land stewardship- the care and repair of our environment.”

High Road School’s adopted portion is located on Kirkwood Highway from Centerville Road to Union Street. Students and staff will be responsible for conducting at least three cleanups per year. Our participants will wear safety vests provided by DelDOT to clean up debris on the edges of the roadway.

To adopt a highway, individuals, organizations, or businesses agree to keep a two mile stretch of road free of litter for a period of two years.  Volunteers are provided with trash bags and safety vests to assist them with their clean-ups, all at no cost.  They also have the option of recycling any litter collected, and keeping the money for their organization.  In recognition of each group’s involvement, DelDOT posts signs bearing the sponsor’s name at the beginning and end of the adopted section.  Anyone interested in participating in DelDOT’s Adopt-A-Highway Program should call 1-800-652-5600 for more information.
