We are excited to partner with TVA EnergyRight to recruit the next cohort of schools for the 2025-2026 School Uplift program! Participating schools can save an average of $13,000 annually by engaging their entire school in energy efficiency practices. Plus, all schools that complete the year-long program receive a $10,000 to $25,000 Learning Environment Grant!

It All Adds Up

School Uplift is making a big impact across the region. Teachers, administrators, and students are working together to save energy and reduce costs. Each year, this program helps approximately 100 public schools lower their energy bills with no or low-cost energy-saving practices, achieving a 10% reduction in energy costs.

The heartbeat of every community is in its schools

School Uplift creates brighter, safer, and happier learning environments. By reducing energy waste, schools can focus more resources on what matters most—books, teaching materials, and educational technology.

The ABC’s of School Uplift

A—Active Energy Training

Schools receive behavior-based strategic energy management (SEM) training to promote staff and student engagement with actionable energy-saving practices.

B—Building Community

School Uplift energizes students, families, and community leaders to unite for better schools and stronger communities.

C—Competitive and Need-Based Grants

Participating schools compete for grants to fund critical energy upgrades, improving their learning environments.

Currently, these schools are participating in the 2024-2025 program:

• AH Roberts Elementary
• Carthage Elementary School
• Cornerstone Elementary School
• Livingston Academy
• New Middleton Elementary School

We are thrilled to see the program’s ongoing success and can’t wait to see which schools join us next year!
