My students are exceptional young men and women, who are extremely smart and talented. These young men and women have come such a long way in such a short period of time, not only in the pool but academically. These young adults have shown grace under pressure and have accomplished a lot. My students are not just athletes, they are student athletes striving to do their best athletically and academically. My students are great in all that they do at school.
My Project
Our programs are growing and we need some more materials for the student athletes to continue to grow. The stop watches will help our team manage their times and help them get faster. By having more students in the aquatics program we will be in need of more water polo balls for both our female and male student athletes.
The water polo balls will be used for drills and our school is in need for more equipment.
The stop watches will be used to time the students to maximize their performance in the pool area which will benefit them greatly.
More than three‑quarters 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
