My Students

Our students are special as each class of students have been together, for the most part, since kindergarten! These students know each other well, and the faculty/staff of the high school also are familiar with them and their families. This makes for a high school student body with community bonds.

The students live in the shadow of the Appalachian mountains in a rural setting.

The students, as a whole, possess a strong work ethic, and the school had a 99.1% graduation rate in 2016, but we need to expand our thinking and provide a space for this technology that we have acquired.

My Project

Robotics, Lego wall, Raspberry Pi/Arduino Center, Reading nook, Video News, Green Screen, Sewing Corner, Art Desk--all in one room--a maker space for our small, rural school! We have the equipment but it is spread out all over the school, and our library is ready to become the center for it all. The modular tables will provide the flexibility that the space needs for individual, group, and class activities. The ottoman seats can be utilized at the tables or as a bench giving this space additional purposes.

Our library is ready to change into a vibrant technology center where our students will have a room dedicated to providing students technology and the arts to create and expand their skills.

A place where our technology can be seen, used, and the results displayed. A place where students are not only welcomed, but encouraged to experiment and play with robots, 3-D printer, a drone, AV equipment, even sewing. It's time, and we need help to make it happen. We are moving the encyclopedias and making room for kids to have hands-on time in creative centers.
