Our high school supports a robust independent reading culture, but we need to have an array of high-interest reads to invite and inspire our diverse student body.
We'd love your help building our collection of graphic novels and contemporary suspense/thrillers to provide options for our students.
These books build literacy, love of reading, and visual literacy skills.
We're seeing a surge in popularity for graphic novels and for suspenseful reads that keep our growing readers turning pages. Your gift will touch the lives of hundreds of young people for years.
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
