My Students

Our student athletes work really hard on being the best they can be.

We as an athletic department have maintained a 3.0 GPA for the school year.

As we push these student athletes academically we need to continue to push them in their sports. They all work tremendously hard in everything they do. The have minimum resources but still give 100% in everything they do. They grow tremendously although the conditions are not superb and are super excited about developing and growing the program and themselves.

My Project

We are wanting to upgrade our athletic facilities. We currently have no baseball or softball field on campus and have to share with the city and high school to practice baseball and softball. Adding a hitting cage will allow our athletes work at school and become better.

Every addition to our athletic programs increase student performance on the field and in the classroom.

Athletes from baseball and softball will benefit from the addition of the cage. During the season it will give both sports and opportunity to hit and get better while during the off-season they will be able to get better and stronger. The cage will allow the middle school coaches to work with the youth league teams and hold hitting camps to increase the community programs as well as increase exposure to the program. It will allow the high school programs an additional place to work out and increase their involvement in their feeder program creating lifelong athletes and growth.

The addition of this cage will truly bless our program in helping it grow, increase the students athletes performance and benefit the school by growing our athletic department.
