Wildcat Weight Room Renovation

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Johnson's classroom raised $1,066

My Students

Our High School is home to the best students in the City of Louisville. Our students are determined, gritty, hardworking, focused, and resilient. Our students are 90% free or reduced lunch and most travel more than 30 minutes to and from school. Our students have all overcame many adversities throughout their life and still choose to fight and improve their legacy.

Our young men on our football team have fought for social injustices and made a stand to improve their lives and all of those around them.

The character of our young men is impressive to be a part of as they grow into the leaders of tomorrow.

The curl bars, adjustable benches, and clamps will be used in our free weight portion of the newly designed weight room. These items will be used by all of our athletes, boys and girls, in an effort to ensure physical wellness and safety.

My Project

We need the following items in order to complete our "free weight" section of the weight room. The Curl bars, adjustable benches and clamps will be used on a daily basis by our young men and women to improve physical health and promote safety.

We have long needed an opportunity to update our weight room for the use of our athletes to be able to compete at a higher level in their specific sport.

Our athletes will use this weight room daily with an emphasis on safety, team building, and health transformation. All of these things add to the quality of athletes we can attract to our school as well as ensure our athletes are as prepared for competition as possible.

We hope that you choose to join us in our effort to transform the lives of our athletes as we move forward towards perfection.
