Being energy conscious is paying off for local schools.
The Washougal School District has saved $379,000 in energy costs since beginning a new program two years ago.
Money saved from lowering costs has been used to support facility operations and fund future energy-saving measures throughout the district, according to a press release.
In addition, Washougal High School, Canyon Creek Middle School and Cape Horn-Skye Elementary schools have earned Energy Star certification.
