has windows on the front of the building, which faces northwest. This was done in order to save on energy costs, as the school was built during the prelude to the 1973 energy crisis. In 2017–2018, Roxbury completed the state sponsored Energy Audit program through the Board of Public Utilities (BPU). This has led to the Energy Savings Initiative Program, which has allowed Roxbury to upgrade its primary systems (including the replacement of all light fixtures, now LEDs) through a fully funded grant. In addition, Roxbury has been replacing the HVAC units, re-doing the roof, and has installed a new boiler between 2012 and 2018 in an effort to be more energy efficient. The district is also looking into the installation of photovoltaic solar panels on the roof of the high school. Gardens Under the guidance of Meg Fagan, Robin Dunn, the Environmental Club, and Geophysical Science students, a walkthrough garden was established in memory of Mrs. Jane Hopper, who died in 2008. This flower garden features a couple benches, a trellis archway, many species of flowers, and a pond. This garden has given the front of the school a major uplift with its gorgeous array of plants. In addition, two hydroponic tower gardens were installed in the cafeteria, as part of a grant received. These gardens will be maintained and utilized by students in the culinary classes, Extended School Year (ESY), and many of the students in the Special Education program. Flower bed gardens have also been created in the back of the school by former student Matt Cordileone, who built them during his Senior Option. These gardens are designed to be wheelchair accessible so students who are differently abled may tend to them. Murals The school has commissioned two significant murals to be completed at the high school. In the Spring of 2008, a mural was completed outside in the front the building as part of Rachel's Challenge, a movement to prevent school bullying through a chain reaction of kindness. The second was constructed in October 2017 in the main lobby as part of an artROX workshop to take art outside the classroom and bring together three others schools - Wallkill Valley Regional High School, High Point Regional High School, and Paramus High School. The workshop featured three artists - Ian Ferguson, Lala Abaddon, and Sarah Potter. The mural ties together the things that make Roxbury and Roxbury
