Sustainability in Loudoun County Public Schools

Cover page of the Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) Sustainability Framework. The page features the LCPS logo centered near the top above the title “SUSTAINABILITY FRAMEWORK” in large dark green text. A green and blue banner runs across the top and bottom of the page. Below the title, several circular photos outlined in green depict sustainability-related activities, including a child standing in a garden, students participating in an environmental learning activity, a student recycling materials, a school building with rooftop solar panels, community members gathered around an outdoor demonstration, a construction site, and school buses. The design emphasizes environmental stewardship, education, recycling, renewable energy, and sustainable school operations.

LCPS Sustainability Framework

LCPS is a national leader in sustainability, earning local, state, national and international recognition for its commitment to energy efficiency, conservation and environmental stewardship. LCPS defines sustainability as a holistic approach to mission and operations that integrates economic, environmental and social goals. At LCPS, integration of sustainability is division-wide:

  • Prioritizes resource conservation and efficiency,

  • Promotes healthy schools and planet, and 

  • Cultivates environmental literacy for all. 

In doing so, we model a culture of sustainability - leading by example, embracing sustainable practices, and valuing our connectedness as we advance LCPS’ mission of empowering all students to make meaningful contributions to the world.

In June 2025, the Loudoun County School Board approved the LCPS Sustainability Framework as the foundation for incorporating sustainability into instruction, operations, and LCPS culture. The framework aims to align and elevate efforts across all departments, ensuring a unified approach to building a more sustainable future for schools and the community.
