For several years Gonzaga has had an active recycling program focused on paper and plastic, has an active environmental club, and some 50 students per year are enrolled in environmental science classes. We are also proud to be a member of the Alliance to Save Energy’s Green Schools program in Washington, DC. Initiated in 2008, the Saving Energy in DC Schools (SEDS) program, funded under the DC Public Service Commission by the Natural Gas Trust Fund and co-implemented with the District Department of the Environment’s Energy Office, Gonzaga works with other schools to engage students, teachers, facilities, staff, and administrators in teaching and learning about energy efficiency while actively pursuing energy saving opportunities at school.
