Three successful experiences of Environmental Education (EE), which have been applied and evaluated in the last four years at the high school level (Centro de Bachillerato Tecnológico Industrial y de Servicios 212 de Tetla de la Solidaridad , Tlaxcala), through the Ecology course that is given in the fourth semester to the students of the different specialties are presented in this work, with the purpose of promoting environmental awareness for the care and conservation of their school-community environment. The investigation develops in the frame of qualitative methodology using direct observation, tasks, logs and a questionnaire that was applied in average to 120 students per year. As result of each experience, there are students capable of establishing viable, playful and creative actions and activities to mitigate the environmental deterioration of their school-community. Likewise, they are competent to obtain information of direct and indirect form, to design programs and ecological projects, to extend their skills, attitudes, comptetences and commitments in order to solve and to mitigate problems of their environment.
