My Project

Hi there. At Wilbur Cross High School in New Haven, we are chronically underfunded. We’re the largest comprehensive public high school in New Haven I’m looking for basic supplies to meet the needs of my students in my classroom.

We’re a high school English and ESL class.

Students from all over the world call Cross their home. And we work together to meet all students where they are.

We are working to create an inclusive environment in our community and make the high school experience a positive one for all our students.
