Logan Park High School: Proud To Be Modelling What They Believe In 
 

Logan Park High School staff and students are proud to be modelling their values of protecting the environment and what they believe in.

When previously burning fossil fuels, the leadership team acknowledged it didn't represent the school's values so the decision made to use a renewable and sustainable energy source. The decision was a simple yet powerful example that demonstrates to future generations the school's commitment to a greener future.
