Performing arts center
The school's performing arts center is used for musical performances, community events, and chapel. The construction of the 750-seat Performing Arts Center was the final step in the four-phase facility plan that began in 2001.
Waste water treatment
In 2001, the school built an artificial wetland for waste water management. In March 2003, a grant from Toyota Motor Sales allowed the school to install a windmill to aerate the wetlands, potentially increasing the facility's effectiveness. The experimental facility is the first of its kind among schools of the upper Midwest. The school calls the system "The Green Machine" and uses it for environmental education, allowing the school's Ecology Club to assist in its development and maintenance.
Solar energy system
In 2009, the school built a solar panel array consisting of 16 panels mounted on four solar trackers to generate electricity that will help power the school's facilities. This system was built in partnership with We Energies, a Power company serving Wisconsin. In 2010, phase 2 of the "Let the Sun Shine...Let the Son Shine" solar project was completed, adding 112 more panels on seven trackers. In 2011, phase 3, a ground mounted solar array was installed on a hill overlooking the school. These solar arrays provide 10-15% of the school's power.
Weather station
The school maintains a weather station as part of the SMART Weathernet on WITI Fox 6 TV in Milwaukee.
