The technology and resources you helped provide are being used daily, and my students are thriving because of it.\r\n\r\nThe charging station has quickly become a favorite feature—high schoolers rely on their Chromebooks and phones for assignments, research, and communication, and now they have a reliable, organized place to power up. It's removed a daily stressor for many students, especially those who don't have consistent access to chargers at home.\r\n\r\nThe LED lamp and diffuser have created a calming atmosphere that sets our classroom apart from the rest of campus. Students often comment that the room feels \"safe\" and \"relaxing,\" which is especially important during high-stress times like testing or presentations. The soft lighting and scent options have made it a place they actually want to be.\r\n\r\nThe acrylic shelves are helping us display books and student work in an accessible, visually appealing way. Several students have told me they've picked up a book simply because it \"looked cool on the wall,\" which is exactly the kind of curiosity I hoped to spark.\r\n\r\nOne student in particular, who often struggles to stay focused in traditional classroom environments, has found a lot of comfort in the new setup. Having a space that feels calm and organized has helped them participate more and even share their work with peers.\r\n\r\nYour support has allowed me to start my first year of high school teaching with the kind of classroom environment I've always dreamed of creating. Every day, my students are benefiting from the tools you made possible, and I am deeply grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1750767678963,"projectUrl":"project/hello-high-school/9331703/","projectTitle":"Hello High School","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gray","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9897770_orig.jpg?crop=1179,1179,x0,y31&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1746656265786","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9897770"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_65126","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1199,"numTeachers":56,"percentFrplEligible":50,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":51,"percentIndigenous":2,"percentLatinx":41,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"21.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":72.4,"schoolId":65126,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mingus Union High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mingus Union High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/mingus-union-high-school-district-4/mingus-union-high-school/65126"}
