My Students

Our students are very kind, mostly economically disadvantaged, and great support to each other. They love the outdoors like being avid farmers, fishermen, and hunters. Our girls Volleyball team are champions. Our Football Team won the state championship in 2018. We have students in the band, in our athletics, in Interact which was also award winning this year.

Many of our students are involved in many activities.

Some of them include Cheerleading, Marching Band, Interact, Renaissance Club, Fellowship Christian Athletics Club, Volleyball, Football, Soccer Co-op, Track Co-op, Basketball, Baseball, and Softball.

Many of our students are not living with mom and dad and struggle with family issues. This makes it hard for academics, social situations, and emotional stability. I am amazed at some of the resiliency I see from our students.

My Project

With these computers, our students will have access to learning online at home while they are quarantined. They will also be able to do homework while they are at home as well. Our students will be able to thrive in school with computers like these. Computers are important using Google Classroom and Zoom links to access the teachers' classrooms. They post homework and other class assignments in Google Classroom during these scary and uncertain times. Teachers will be able to reach students by email easier with these computers as well.
