Did You Know?

Did you know that during Spring Break, Harrison School District #36 completed its second phase of building renovation? The installation of the solar panel, mini-wind turbine, and screen message kiosk will be used as a curriculum unit as we instruct students on alternative energy sources. At this same time, the panel and turbine will generate enough electricity to power the lighting banks of five classrooms. Harrison School District #36 participates in the Illinois Green Schools initiative.
