My Students
When you walk into our high school science classrooms, you will see a room full of brown and black faces actively engaged in learning. Our students are career-minded. They are planning steps to achieve job placement that will enable them to contribute to the flourishing of their community.
Our public charter school is located in Missouri, in one of the most segregated cities in the USA.
Access to quality science education has been adversely impacted by decades of decreased school funding and this has impacted our students' neighborhoods through decreased community development, quality housing, and access to healthcare.
My Project
We are setting up a health and life science laboratory. This equipment will sanitize goggles, incubate experimental samples, enable chemical molecule visualization, and warm ingredients for DNA analysis. We are initiating a Project Lead the Way Biomedical Science program that provides problem-based, open-inquiry, critical thinking laboratory experiences that will prepare our students for future biomedical science careers.
These durable, one-time purchase items will stock our laboratory classroom for our students to gain experience in up-to-date laboratory techniques.
Thank you for contributing to this STEM learning opportunity for our students of color.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
