My Students

Do you remember how you felt waiting for the first game of the season and all the preparation that took place to get ready for it? My female athletes share that excitement of waiting for and then finally getting to compete on their respective court and/or field. These girls have the desire to become not just better athletes but better people across the board!

Many of our students are using athletics, in addition to their academic achievements, to get offered a scholarship so that they may build a better future for themselves.

More than half of our students at THS are from low-income households. With that being said, many of our student-athletes have jobs in order to help support themselves and alleviate the pressure put on their parents. They know what hard work is and they are not afraid of it. They thrive in situations; others would have a very hard time facing. We really do have great kids that want to better themselves in every way and I am so proud of them! Go Bobcats!

My Project

Dear donors,

Please consider donating to this worthy group of girls we have.

This project would make a huge difference in my girls learning. This project would supply us with two more dozen balls four our 3 teams, and 40+ girls to use. Having more balls would allow us to run a much more efficient practice and the girls would absolutely be able to get more reps during our practice. We would appreciate any and all support we get! I'd love for your help in order to help me help my kids!!!
