My students are limitless in their creativity and desire to improve our low-income, resource-deprived, historically and predominantly African American school. In the last year, several important classes and organizations have evolved at our high school to engage students and invest them in generating grant requests for the improvement of their school. Integral developments include the National English Honor Society, AP English Literature and Composition, Modern American Poetry, and Future Musicians of America. Thank you for continuing to support our causes! You are changing lives.
