Last week, the Board of Education, DPS Leadership and the students of Northeast Early College gathered to celebrate the installation of a brand-new solar array. The solar canopy project was a shared green initiative, led by DPS and funded by the City of Denver. The project provides the DPS high school, located in the Far Northeast, access to renewable solar energy.
In addition to the satisfaction of creating a more sustainable future, DPS families will now have access to renewable energy credits due to this program. Additionally, they will benefit from a reduction in their utility bills.
“At Denver Public Schools, we are committed to leading the way in transforming the educational landscape into one that is more equitable for all students. In order to do this effectively we must approach our goal from all angles, taking into account the many challenges that face our young people today. We must work together to guarantee that our planet is sustainable for future generations,” shared Superintendent Dr. Alex Marrero. Hear more from our district leaders in this event recap video.
