I am amazed on a daily basis by the resiliency of our students. Some of our students have experienced great traumas, but they come to school each day with the mindset of working hard for their futures.
To continuously keep students in the mindset of thinking of their futures, on Wednesday our school promotes Dress for Success by asking students to come dressed in business casual attire or appropriate clothing for their career pathway classes.
We have been fortunate to have several community partners donate clothing for this school-wide program, but we are in need of a steamer to help students leave the closet with properly pressed clothing. In addition, we need hangers to store the clothing on our racks. The size dividers will help us organize the closet so that students can easily find attire in their correct size. These items will truly help us complete our Dress for Success Closet.
Nearly all 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
