My Project

The basketball off-season is almost here, and we need your help to fund this project. Our goal is to acquire the necessary equipment for off-season practices and competitions. Your donation will go towards funding the resources we need for everyday use and will help us better our basketball program. Our ultimate aim is to provide our students with the best possible experience. The coaches and student-athletes of THS's girls basketball program are incredibly grateful for your support and thank you in advance for your donation. Please consider making a contribution today!
