We’re pleased to announce that the newly renovated field at Mountain Brook Junior High is DarkSky Approved. There is only one other field in the state of Alabama with this certification.

The DarkSky Approved program provides objective, third-party certification for products, designs, and completed projects that minimize glare, reduce light trespass, and don’t pollute the night sky.

MBJH’s football field met the requirements for certification which are: 

• Restrict the amount of upward-directed light
• Avoid glare
• Avoid over-lighting
• Utilize dimming and other appropriate lighting controls
• Minimize short-wavelength (bluish) light in the nighttime environment
