CHARLESTON -
Wyoming County Career and Technical
College is one of four schools in
the Mountain State
to be recognized for its sound environmental practices.
Four schools, including Wyoming CTC were nominated by the
West Virginia Department of Education for the U.S. Green Ribbon School Award, which
will be announced April 23.
Additionally, the state gave Wyoming CTC a Maple Leaf Award for
environmental impact and energy efficiency of the facility. Two other schools
were granted the award in other areas, while Hilltop
Elementary school in Marshall
County received the Black Bear
Award for the highest achievement.
"West Virginia
schools are making great strides toward creating healthy environments in
schools, including some that have become Energy Star schools for their
conservation efforts," said state Superintendent of Schools Jorea Marple. "We
want to recognize schools that strengthen that work by imbedding sustainability
practices into all aspects of school life."
Marple goes on to explain that these schools have also
worked to integrate environmentally sustainable practices into their
curriculum. The schools have agreed to work to save energy, reduce costs,
feature environmentally sustainable learning spaces and foster wellness.
Also nominated for the national Green Ribbon Schools award were Musselman High School in Berkley County and Our Lady of
Fatima Parish School in Cabell County. Winners of the
award will be honored at a ceremony in Washington, D.C., on June 4.
