My Project
At our school, we are launching an exciting, hands-on project that gives students the opportunity to learn practical, career-ready skills in design, production, and entrepreneurship. With your support, we are seeking to equip our classroom with the necessary supplies for an Epson printer capable of DTF (Direct to Film) printing. This technology will allow students to create and print custom designs on apparel—starting with personalized senior class shirts.
This project is about more than just T-shirts.
It’s about giving students a meaningful experience that combines creativity, technical skills, and real-world business concepts. Students will learn how to develop designs, prepare print files, operate digital printing equipment, and manage production timelines. They will take pride in seeing their work worn by classmates and school staff, boosting both confidence and school spirit.
By supporting this initiative, you're helping students gain exposure to potential career paths in graphic design, digital media, fashion, and small business—fields many of them haven’t had access to before. You’re also helping our seniors leave a legacy they can wear with pride.
Let’s give our students the tools to print their future—one shirt at a time.
