The Environmental Responsibility Council

Ryan McFarland, Faculty Lead, Student Life Director

AISC has long been developing clarity on how to be intentional in approaching environmental sustainability while recognizing that it will be a continuous effort to improve. The School is LEED Platinum-certified using the ARC platform which considers the school’s waste, water, energy, and transportation. Over the past decade, student-led initiatives have cut single use paper cups, plastic bottles, installed hand-dryers, and otherwise made AISC more environmentally responsible. Solar panels, LED lighting, water and sewage treatment plants, soild-waste diversion, and water catchment systems help make the daily operation of the school more eco-friendly.

The Environmental Responsibility Council is composed of staff, students, and parents. This group’s primary task for 2023 is to ensure a virtual dashboard is created and available to track the School’s environmental data. The group will also begin the process of collecting information to be able to articulate how environmental responsibility is conveyed across the School’s grade levels and subjects. The group’s work culminated with its involvement with others in the creation of Earth Week events.
