Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

These are some of DC's best students. The students that compete as part of Eastern Esports' diverse group of wonderful people who all share a passion for competitive video games.

Several students could earn college scholarships play Esports; they are that talented.

We play competitive Esports in 6 different titles. We have practice with the different teams 5 days a week during the season. Students are dedicated to school and improving at their game(s). We currently have 4 teams in the playoffs and some were ranked #1 at times during the regular season. All of our funds are raised through the community so that we can provide E-sports programming at no cost to the students.

My Project

At our school we have come a long way! With the support of the community, we have grown to support over 50 students at our school. We currently have 8 teams across 6 different video game titles (Overwatch, League of Legends, Smash Bros., Rocket League, Madden, and Splatoon). Each game has a coach and meets several times per week for practice and organized league games against other high schools. We have worked hard and spent our own money to create a lab that supports all of these amazing esports athletes and NO COST to the student/family for anything.

Students who have participated in our e-sports programing have shown large improvements in grades, attendance, and an expressed sense of belonging.

Additionally these students are developing soft skills that they would not otherwise develop. Skills such as communicating with a team, handling disappointment, accountability/ follow through, sportsmanship in victory, and many other skills that can only be developed by competing in a team environment.

Since returning from Covid, student demand and engagement for e-sports has surpassed what we can currently support. By helping to fund this project, you will be helping us acquire an additional gaming device that will allow us to expand the program to include more students.
