My Project

1895. That was the year our school was first opened. With that age comes some great history, amazing architecture, and a school culture that reaches back over 100 years. But, that also means we spend a lot of money keeping everything working, and sports funding often is not the first priority. This season, we need help keeping our volleyball team up and running.

We currently have a very old and falling apart net and students in need of athletic socks.

With this support, we would be able to continue having practice and games without fear of a spiking student splitting the net in half!

Our volleyball team is truly a student sport, with our athletes not only pushed to be the best on the court but the best in the classroom as well. Before every single practice, students take part in a study hall to make sure they are meeting every expectation of a student-athlete.

Thank you so much for supporting our Knights Volleyball team!
