Sustainable Learning for Our Future

Mountain SD is dedicated to reducing its carbon footprint and fostering a culture of sustainability within its schools and central office.

Sustainability is a core value for our district, and we strive to create a learning environment that promotes environmental responsibility for future generations.

The district has implemented a comprehensive program that includes a variety of initiatives. These include:

  • installing solar panels on school rooftops to generate clean energy
  • implementing a robust recycling and composting program to reduce waste
  • promoting the use of electric school buses for cleaner transportation
  • parterning with local farms to source fresh, locally-grown food for its cafeterias

These efforts are not only benefiting the environment, but also creating a more engaging learning experience for students. Through school gardens and outdoor classrooms, students are actively involved in understanding environmental issues and exploring sustainable solutions.

Mountain SD is committed to continuing its leadership in sustainability and inspiring other school districts to adopt similar practices.
