My Project
Today’s high school students face unprecedented challenges such as academic pressure, negative social media influence, mental health concerns, and uncertainty about the future. Many students feel underprepared for life after graduation, whether pursuing college, careers, or other pathways. I am looking to expand our classroom library and classroom resources with a collection of books focusing on self-care, motivation, goal-setting, social-emotional learning (SEL), and post-secondary planning.
These books will support my students’ mental well-being, personal growth, academic resilience, and readiness for life beyond high school.
By providing access to diverse, student-centered literature, I aim to equip my students with the tools they need to thrive both in and out of the classroom. Books on self-care, motivation, SEL, and post-secondary planning will help my students envision new possibilities and paths forward.
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
