Taking Action Against Hunger
In our ongoing effort to combat hunger, our district is proud to support Hunger Action Month this September.
September 26th, attend "Hunger Has No Home Here," a community conversation at Middleton Public Library. This event will feature a panel of experts discussing the challenges and solutions related to hunger. Be sure to register in advance to participate in this important discussion.
Climate Champions
We are incredibly proud to share that our schools were named 2024 Climate Champions by the Dane County Climate Champions program. This prestigious recognition highlights the leadership of local organizations committed to taking impactful actions to reduce carbon emissions and fight climate change.
Several of our elementary and middle schools stand out for using less than half the energy of an average school, and our MCPASD High School operates with 25% lower energy consumption compared to most high schools.
As a district, we are committed to leading the way in sustainability. These efforts not only demonstrate our dedication to reducing our carbon footprint but also bring us one step closer to making our community cleaner, greener, and healthier for future generations.
