Stephens County High School is officially a LEED certified building. The school system held a plaque unveiling ceremony for its LEED recognition Tuesday at the high school. LEED recognition comes from the Georgia Chapter of the U.S. Green Building Council. David Freedman is the Executive Director of that organization and said the school system deserves recognition for making the choice to build a LEED-certified building. “The Stephens County School System had a choice,” said Freedman. “You had a choice whether to pursue LEED certification or not. You had a choice to build a regular building or do something special and build a building that is going to be better for the environment, save energy, be better for the students, and that is the choice you made. I commend you for making that decision.” LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design and is a green building rating system.Stephens County High School is officially a LEED certified building.
