My Project

At Milwaukee High School of the Arts, students focus on an art form to “major” in. Our Theatre Department is expanding to offer a film studies track, which includes filming and editing. Our students are excited to tell stories through this medium, but we need your help to get started.

We want to offer a variety of film classes so students can learn and master all facets of the film making process, culminating in a student film festival every year.

With this equipment, our students will be able to collaborate as directors, actors and film crews, not only learning how to create a film from start to finish, but the importance of team work, creative problem solving, positive communication and artistic vision.

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
