My Students

Our 1,750 students come from a variety of backgrounds. Some have been speaking English for just weeks, some get their only meals in our cafeteria, and some are affluent. Somehow we work together to form a dynamic and supportive culture.

We see every student as a success story to be written.

We aim to prepare and inspire students to succeed in whatever post-secondary path they choose by giving them the tools to accomplish their goals. Some of our students are driven academically and some need to be driven to academics. Some excel in vocational training while others practice for the science bowl. We have worked hard to support their goals and help them to reach high and expect the best.

My Project

A microscope can be a very engaging tool in science education. I would like to increase the number of students actively engaged in the microscopic world by obtaining some additional microscopes for my classroom. We currently have 8 old microscopes but with classes of 30 students, microscopy work has to be completed in stations in order to involve all students.

The first time high school students see a slide teaming with microscopic life, they ooh and aah like little kids, something I never get tired of.

I hope this project is funded so students can spend more time with their new, microscopic friends.
