My Project
Our library has been neglected and overlooked for many years and is in desperate need of updating. The average age of our collection is 1984, and with your help, I want to bring our collection into the 21st century! Our students are from all over Baltimore and many commute across the city in order to attend this school for one of the 22 vocational and technical career pathways that we offer. We are the largest high school in the city and serve a diverse student population.
Students spend significant time in the library using our new Maker Space and have been requesting beads and charms to create bracelets with.
Our PRIDE club would also like to make bracelets at some of their meetings. I would love to be able to provide these materials for them and encourage their creativity.
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
