LEED Project of the Year

April 4, 2013, a group of faculty members from King Elementary attended the 2nd Annual Green Tie Dinner hosted by the U.S. Green Building Council-Arkansas Chapter.  King Elementary was selected as the LEED Project of the Year!!! King was chosen by a committee for "Outstanding Achievement in Sustainability."  Numerous individuals from around the state and even the nation commented on how impressed they were with our school, our students and our focus on the future.

This was exciting, however the most excitement came at the end of the evening when we discoverd that King Elementary had also been selected as the "Platinum Award: Best Overall Elementary Division." As part of the U.S. Green Building Council-Arkansas Chapter Green School Challenge for 2012-2013. This award was the result of hours of work and dedication by our staff, our students, our parents, and our community.
