My Students
We are a school dedicated to engaging our students in rigorous educational experiences. Our students are inquisitive, hard-working, and compassionate students who come to school ready to work hard, learn something new, and strive towards their post-secondary goals. As a local public high school on the southside of Chicago, our school aims to give our students equitable access to rigorous instruction every single day as well as build smart and strong young adults ready for the world beyond the walls of our high school.
My Project
I am requesting Chromebooks for the MPHS PE/Health and Driver Education Department. Every student of our nearly 1,100 passes through our department at some point. We teach two current Chicago Public Schools graduation requirements in Freshman Health and Driver Education. Our current technology consists of another very recent addition Donorschoose project of a Smart TV with moveable cart. This infusion of technology would be used in all of the classes of our department to create lessons that engage students and meet the needs that both students, parents, and the medical community have been vocal about.
Our students are living in a 20th century technological world while the 21st century flies by on a superhighway.
Part of the solution to this problem involves being able to interact digitally while staying physically active. The problem our department faces is the inability to make videos and create activities with the current technology setup.
Our department goal is to be able to take incorporate all kinds of technology into our lessons and allow our students to be more creative in what they produce in response to those more interactive lessons.
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
