ACPS Strategic Plan


As ACPS looks to the future, it recognizes that knowledge and skills specific to environmentally friendly practices will be increasingly important to the success of their students. Language from the ACPS Strategic Plan, adopted in March 2009, states that one of its five strategic objectives is to:

Provide clean, safe and conducive learning environments that utilize best practices for energy efficiency and environmental sustainability, to include:

  1. Integrate environmental stewardship throughout the curriculum, as well as facility design, construction and operations.
  2. Collaborate with the City of Alexandria to achieve the Eco-City vision.

Greenovation is a term ACPS is beginning to use to label its approach to the utilization of economical, earth-friendly building and management practices as the foundation for the provision of academic and hands-on learning experiences for its students.
