Rosa Parks Elementary School

The new Rosa Parks Elementary School, currently under construction, is an energy efficient & environmentally friendly school, designed to meet Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) for Schools Gold certification. By minimizing operating costs and meeting maintenance needs, the district will maximize return on the district's investment by being an energy efficient, durable and long-lasting building. Some of the most environmental features are a ground source heat pump system for heating and cooling the school, occupancy sensors for lighting, regional & recycled material use, water saving fixtures & landscape, and many indoor air quality strategies. The new school was also designed to take advantage of the latest technology to enhance learning, be open for community use, meet the needs of a variety of students, and be a safe place for learning.
