Southeast CERT Site Visit

Tuesday, May 12th, 2009, 3-5 pm

ARTech High School, Northfield Minnesota

ARTech High School
We started our site visit with a tour of ARTech High School for Arts and Technology to learn about their school and view their solar PV system. ARTech received a $5000 mini-grant form SE CERTS in 2008 for this project. Artech student Kaya Lovestrand led our tour and walked the group through their process for fundraising for and installing the panels.

ARTech is also participating in Minnesota Schools Cutting Carbon and has a proposal in the works for a solar greenhouse.
