MORRISTOWN, N.J. - The Southwest Licking School District in central Ohio qualified for a Rebuild America EnergySmart Schools partnership award from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The award comes as a result of the district's work with Honeywell Building Solutions, which helped its schools reduce energy consumption and related costs.
Southwest Licking serves residents of Etna, Kirkersville, and Pataskala, Ohio, and is one of only 100 districts nationwide to achieve this distinction, which was based on three criteria: excellence in environmental conservation, commitment to raising environmental awareness in the community, and promotion of a renewable energy curriculum in the classroom.
