My Project

I have a fantastic group of high school students. They impress me with their hard-working attitudes, exceptional work ethic, and positive outlook on life. My students inspire me to teach and support them each day.

My engineering students attend conferences, meetings, and events throughout the year.

There are often opportunities for students to use their communication skills to present at conferences, community engagements, and recruitment fairs. In addition, my students want to look professional at these events. The funding of this project will help me establish a wardrobe of women's and men's shirts. As a result, students can present with a professional appearance to match their professional attitude when they attend events. This wardrobe project would give access to those students who would not otherwise have funds readily available. Your donation will help my students build the confidence they need for success.
