My Project

This year, our school's primary objective is to establish a diverse and inclusive gaming community capable of competing both locally and throughout the district. Esports has experienced a surge in popularity in the digital age. Our aim with the esports team is to ensure that all students, regardless of their financial situation, have an equal opportunity to thrive in this sport.

By fostering gaming opportunities for students, we cultivate a welcoming environment that addresses both social and academic needs.

Research indicates that students engaged in Esports are more inclined to pursue STEAM careers, exhibit heightened cognitive abilities, and experience improved memory retention. Additionally, there is a correlation between student participation in Esports and their sense of belonging within the school community. Furthermore, Esports involvement has been shown to enhance problem-solving skills and promote scientific methodology.

Your donation to our Esports team not only supports our students presently but also opens doors to college teams and scholarships in the future. Moreover, our team provides students with a space to express themselves and enjoy themselves. All Nintendo Switch units and games will directly contribute to the support of our Esports team.
