MWCC supports the environment through their own green energy facilities, classes, and through partnering with organizations in the community.
Robert LaBonte, Vice Principal of Finance and Administration, said, “It’s important that we show some leadership in initiating green energy on the campus.”
MWCC has been involved in green energy since the 1970s, using electricity rather than oil in order to help with the oil shortage during that time. A biomass facility was constructed next to the gym in order to use a renewable energy source. Wood chips are used to heat the school rather than oil.
