Richard C. Hedke Elementary School was built in 1955, but the recent updates provided by a bond issue have made it one of the most energy-efficient schools in the district.
Nearly all of the updates to Hedke Elementary School provided by a recent bond issue are complete and the result is a building worthy to hold the coveted name of Green School.

Patch caught up with Hedke Principal Vince Porecca, who showed us the ins and outs of being a Green School.
