My Project

Creating a lifetime of memories will be possible with the perfect technological assist. Our high school is a school that focuses on career readiness by certifying students in architecture, construction, engineering, electrical, carpentry, IT technology, IT security, and nursing. The technology being requested will allow us to have two cameras to capture all the moments of the school year and a computer that will be strictly designated for the editing and creation of our unique yearbook.

Lessons from last year's production demonstrate our short comings.

Our school computer cannot handle the digital size of the content and causes it to crash or freeze. We need a computer just to process hundreds of images or to creatively edit images. So we are asking for support to create our masterpiece. Thank you for reading and considering a donation to our project.
