in 1993, cleveland became the home to the fish and roses project. fish and roses integrated fish farming and hydroponics into the school's curriculum. mark weber, the project originator, and ted howard, sr., the principal wanted to see the project used as the focus of a new math and science based school. a separate building was built with funding from boeing and costco to house the project but within a few years the building was razed to make room for the new gym and school remodel.
