Cecil County Public Schools Savings Are in Session

At Cecil County Public Schools (CCPS), faculty and staff abide by a single mission: ensure all learners acquire the knowledge, skills, and qualities to be responsible, caring, and ethical citizens. CCPS believes understanding the value of energy efficiency is an important part of that mission, so the school system partnered with Delmarva Power’s Energy Savings for Business Program to replace stadium lights at two high schools with high-efficiency LEDs.
