My Students

The students at my school are extremely dedicated and strive to achieve in each and every way. As you walk through our hallways, you hear the voices of the world. We have such an array of diversity that it makes our school very unique and multicultural.

Our vision is to prepare every student to be academically successful and socially responsible in an ever-changing and unpredictable world.

We strive to provide a safe learning community dedicated to high expectations for every student.

My Project

The students have been demanding football for years and we finally listened. We have the team, we have the coaches, but we are missing a few things. There are a few supplies we need in order to develop strong players.

We are asking for step-over dummies, a tackling wheel, tackle dummy, shields, and wagons, in order to be the best of the best.

With your donation, you will be helping our school bring a new tradition to our community. The students are thrilled to be playing football! It keeps many out of trouble. Who knows, we might even have the next Carson Wentz amongst our team.
