My Project
I love that my students are curious, capable, and full of potential. They are seniors in high school, preparing to enter the real world, and this economics class gives them the tools they need to understand personal finance, global markets, and the role they will play as productive citizens.
Many of my students come from under-resourced backgrounds, but they are driven, resilient, and eager to learn.
I want to give them every opportunity to succeed—not just academically, but in life.
The resources I'm requesting will make our lessons more engaging, hands-on, and relevant. Whether it's financial literacy materials, interactive tools, or updated supplies, each item will help create a more dynamic and supportive learning environment. With your help, my students can leave high school not only with knowledge, but with confidence and readiness to shape their future.
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
