Solar Power
Solar Initiatives at Summit
In 2020, Summit Environmental School installed its first of many solar-powered systems through fundraising and donation efforts from the local community.
An article was featured by WXOW, a local news station documenting the partnership between Summit Environmental, the La Crosse Public Education Foundation and SOLS (Solar on La Crosse Schools).
In 2023, plans were started to create a solar-powered outdoor learning space at the school. The project was completed in April 2025 during our annual Earth Day Celebration serving as our ribbon cutting ceremony as well with community and district members. Classes use this as an alternative learning space. In the warmer months, hammocks are placed outside for reading.
