Queen Anne's County Public Schools
Centreville, MarylandTop Performer (2009)
The Queen Anne's Public School system educates approximately 7,800 students and has a work force of roughly 900 employees across eight elementary schools, four middle schools, and two high schools. The school system currently has 1,300,000 square feet of floor space. Queen Anne's County Public School systems vision, mission, and core values are based on a commitment to ensure that all children receive a vigorous academic program in a learning environment that is safe, respectful and caring.
Queen Anne's County Public Schools was awarded ENERGY STAR Leaders Top Performer recognition in 2009 for achieving a portfolio-wide energy performance rating of 85. The district has previously been recognized for improving its energy efficiency by 20 percent. Additionally, the district was the first in the state of Maryland to have an ENERGY STAR labeled school and currently has ten labeled buildings in its portfolio. These accomplishments correspond to nearly $1,700,000 in avoided energy costs since May 2005. The school system has partnered with Energy Education Inc. to implement a people-driven energy management program that has led to a significant increase in energy efficiency over the last four years, including simple behavioral measures like turning off lights and computers when not in use and educating students and staff about the importance of saving energy.
