My Project
The following equipment is to help the basketball club and also supply the weight room with some much-needed equipment. The basketball club consists of all students on campus, and both boys and girls participate. When high school sports seasons are over, most kids don't have outside teams to join, and most of the time, the cost of playing on AAU teams is too costly for students on our campus and our community. It's important that we continue to provide options for our students during the time and the summer.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
