My Students

Do you remember how you felt waiting for the first game of the season and all the preparation that took place to get ready? My female athletes share that excitement of waiting for and then finally getting to compete on their respective court and/or field. These girls have the desire to become not just better athletes but better people across the board!

Many of our students are using athletics, in addition to their academic achievements, to get offered a scholarship so that they may build a better future for themselves.

With that being said, many of our student-athletes have jobs in order to help support themselves and alleviate the pressure put on their parents. They know what hard work is, and they are not afraid of it. They thrive in situations others would have a very hard time facing. We really do have great kids that want to better themselves in every way and I am so proud of them!

My Project

Donors, please consider donating these armbands so that the softball team can discretely give signals to our kids without the other team picking up on them and so we can stay unified and all match!!

These armbands will ensure that we can give our kids bunt and steal signals without the other team knowing what we are trying to do and by all having one band we are making sure that the signal card we make will fit into the arm band perfectly.

We have a great hard-working group of kids and they would love if, next month when we start playing games, we could all match and have items needed to be successful! Thank you for your consideration! We appreciate it more than you know!
