My Project

We are seeking to replenish our rack of size 7 basketballs with new equipment prior to the 2026-2027 basketball season as our current basketballs are well-used and well past their prime. These items will help us take the next step as a program and we expect them to last multiple years, so you will be helping our program in the long-term.

We seek to add young men to our program who can meet our school's SOAR expectations by modeling Safety, Ownership, Achievement, and Respect on and off the court.

As a magnet school for Digital Sciences, we integrate the four pillars of computational thinking into our program on a daily basis by practicing our plays (Pattern Recognition), working on special situations (Abstraction), breaking down skills into specific drills (Decomposition), and game-planning (Algorithm).

Please consider helping us reach our goal!
