"Sustainability is the thoughtful process of optimizing the use of human, natural and financial resources available to Woodward Academy to honor our history, fulfill our present needs, provide for the future and execute our mission of education."
- Woodward Academy's Blue Ribbon Task Force for Sustainability
In 2009, President Stuart Gulley convened a Blue Ribbon Task Force to define sustainability at Woodward Academy and to make recommendations for how the school can become a national model for sustainability in college-preparatory education. The Task Force recommended the creation of the Sustainability Council, including representatives from each school division and key departments. This Council, chaired by President Gulley, works to realize the vision of Woodward Academy as a national model in sustainability, as outlined in the five-year Strategic Plan, in operations, curriculum and beyond.
The Academy Wide, Curriculum, Dining and Operations pages, found in the left hand navigation, provide brief articles on some of the school's initiatives and achievements in sustainability.
