General Information: School History
 
After 3-1/2 years of planning and construction, we celebrated the grand opening of the new Whitmore Lake High School. The 150,000
square foot facility is expected to be only the second high school in the state of Michigan to achieve LEED (Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design) certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. This designation reflects the commitment of the district to
construct a building that incorporates the principles of environmentally friendly sustainable design. Features that help achieve the LEED certification
include: use of a geothermal heating and cooling system and extensive energy recovery units; waterless urinals and metered
faucets (reducing water consumption by about 20%); use of linoleum and other biodegradable materials throughout the building; use of
locally produced products (within a 500 mile radius); construction waste recycling (84%); use of recycled products; and use of green cleaning
products throughout the building.
