My Students

We are a culturally diverse, rural high school. Our students are the pride of our school system. Students compete on all levels from local to national through athletics, FFA, FBLA, and BETA club activities.

We have high expectations for our students, meaning we want them to leave high school fully prepared for whatever they have chosen, whether it be college, vocational or straight into a career field.

Our Core Beliefs and Mission statement for our school are​ “My Education My Future.”

My Project

Students go through basic supplies on a daily basis and many struggle to be able to afford them. They constantly have a need for more pencils, highlighters, paper and pens. In any given school year, parents can expect to pay $1,017 per child for elementary school students, $1,277 for middle school students, and $1,668 for high school students — all on supplies, fees, and technology. Our students struggle to be able to keep up with the most basic of these supplies.

Please help me supply our students with supply packs that will help fill the basics they need to be successful on their assignments and in the classroom.

These pens, pencils, paper packs and highlighters will be packaged together to provide our students with the materials they need. Thank you for helping to give our students these essential supplies!
