My Project
As Dean of Students at FHHS, I’m seeking your support to acquire a Mac computer, professional journals, and a DSLR camera—tools that are essential to enhancing student engagement, leadership development, and communication. A Mac will allow me to design and manage digital content and outreach more effectively; journals will keep me informed on the latest best practices in student development; and a DSLR camera will help us capture and celebrate student life while empowering student-led media initiatives. Your support would have a direct and meaningful impact on the students we serve.
These items will make a meaningful difference in students' lives by enhancing how we connect, engage, and celebrate them every day.
With a Mac computer, I can create dynamic programs, presentations, and digital communications that resonate with today’s students. Access to professional journals ensures our initiatives are rooted in the latest research and best practices in student development. A DSLR camera allows us to visually capture student achievements, promote school spirit, and empower students to take part in storytelling through media projects. Together, these tools help build a more connected, inspired, and empowered student community.
What makes my students different is their resilience, creativity, and deep desire to be seen and heard in a world that often overlooks them. They come from diverse backgrounds, bringing unique perspectives, talents, and stories that enrich our school community. Many face personal and systemic challenges, yet they show up with determination and hope, eager to grow, lead, and make a difference. They don’t just participate—they aspire to transform their environment, and with the right support and resources, they have the potential to become powerful changemakers in their communities and beyond.
