Students at Richard McKenna Charter High School continued this week to count the amount of energy they've saved as they learn more about their new alternative energy laboratory.

During an event witnessed by students and faculty last month, the high school finished a year-long effort to build a wind turbine at their Mountain Home campus.

McKenna became the fifth school in the state to build this type of alternative energy generator.
