Hayes Freedom derives its name from two sources: Hayes, in honor of Denis Hayes, a graduate of Camas High School and founder of Earth Day, and Freedom, reflecting our cherished belief in the importance of this attribute in education. The school is designed to embody this vision by protecting the Earth’s natural resources & enriching the learning process. The building is designed to be an interactive teaching tool.

As you explore the school, consider the many ways in which the building engages with the surrounding environment and how everyday decisions can impact energy performance.
