Donelson Christian Academy

Donelson Christian Academy of Nashville, TN is a Christian-based Pre-K-12 private school. Intrigued by the potential of clean energy, the school approached Helios as they were seeking a partner to upgrade existing fluorescent lighting fixtures, which necessitated continuous maintenance, save on energy costs, and provide an enhanced environment for student learning. In particular, administrators at DCA specifically sought an approach with flicker-free LED lights to minimize headaches and other maladies for both students and teachers. They trusted Helios Energy™ to provide the most cost-effective solution.
