At Lone Rock School we realized that the economics of our country, state and community would be changing dramatically during the time that our elementary school children were receiving their formal education. We felt that the one category of business that would withstand the coming changes and still be in place for future jobs would be in the field of energy. Whether it be oil, coal, wind, solar, biomass or hydrogen that fueled our future systems, our students would benefit from getting a solid education in a broadfield approach to learning about energy. In 2008 Lone Rock School made a commitment to the students of our district that energy education would be a part of their school life. The solar demonstration project is part of the renewable energy curriculum and a primary interest of the Lone Rock School's Energy Club where our Energy Club logo is a sketch of Albert Einstein pointing to our motto, " Energy: rated "E" for Everyone."

KPAX Channel 8 stopped by to do a story on the school on June 7. (The video starts after the advertisement)
