History

Since our establishment in 2003, Green Team has taken large strides in sustainability!

LAHS is a 50% solar-powered campus.

Our home is green. By utilizing our parking lot area, we have successfully installed 34,000 square feet of solar panels, which has generated over 393,000 kWh of electricity since its installation on Earth Day 2011 .

We are part of the first high school district to combine intelligent energy storage and EV charging.

In collaboration with Green Charge Networks based in Santa Clara, the MVLA School District successfully implemented an energy storage system capable of reducing peak demand charges, which compensates for about 50% of the electric bill, saving $86,000 annually. Furthermore, by coupling this energy storage system with EV charging stations, our school district can reduce greenhouse gas emissions significantly. Read more here.

LANDFILL

We are a zero-waste campus. That's right, we do not have any landfill trash bins, and our students are responsible for sorting their own trash and disposing them accordingly.

RECYCLING

The recycle bins on our campus are labeled properly, some with a distinct blue color so students can recognize them easily.
