About us |
Donated by Frank and Rita Christensen in memory of their late son Howard, HCNC was developed as an environmental education center for the students of the Kent Intermediate School district. Through 3 changes of management, HCNCs core mission and vision are still deeply rooted in environmental education and field trips, now servicing schools from more than 6 intermediate school districts. |
