Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

Twiggs County High school is located at the geographical center point of Georgia. Twiggs County High School serves roughly 270 students in grades 9-12. The student to teacher ratio is 15:1, which is lower than the State of Georgia average of 16:1. Minority enrollments are at 71 percent of students, which is more than the state average of 58 percent. Twiggs County High School operates within the Twiggs County School District. With a Graduation rate of 55 percent, which is lower than the state of Georgia average of 69 percent, the student population has stayed flat for over five years; but the teacher population of 18 has declined by 28 percent.

My Project

Acquiring these compression shirts will give these young men a sense of uniformity to play as a team. When you feel apart of a team, you play better which ultimately bring success to the program. As a Title I school, with past season's not being these boys best. I am wanting to bring the PRIDE back to this team in hopes of a victorious season. These boys have faced so much adversity over the past four years with different coaches coming and leaving. I have returned home to coach a team, I once had the pleasure of playing for. The thing I remembered in my experience was the football team feeling like a family. To be winners, we must look like winners to play like winners!
