PROGRESS REPORT ON SUSTAINABILITY:
Over the winter break, the facilities team helped install all new, energy-efficient windows in the dorms and most of the administrative offices. This is part of a long-term plan to reduce the School's energy use and is the result of an extensive energy audit completed earlier this year. More improvements are planned throughout the year.
