Support Our Young Scholars
Help every student realize their full potential!
Generous supporters like you help our students receive not only an
excellent education and foundation, but a promising future as well!
Our current success is due to every student receiving access to counseling and student health services,
college and career readiness programs, athletics and comprehensive course offerings delivered by a
committed and highly skilled team of educators. These services require resources beyond our established
funding. The lack of an equitable school funding formula in PA has a significant effect on the acceleration
of student success and access to opportunity – both huge pieces to the puzzle of a quality education for
a child. As we enter into a new frontier in education, we are making every effort to deliver the highest
quality education despite this unjust funding scenario.
By raising $1,250 per student, we are able to do the following:
- Provide full-time counseling services to students
- Employ a full-time nurse and on-site physician visits
- Provide comprehensive course offerings, including more teachers and support staff
- Expose students to a wide variety of meaningful career paths and hands-on experiences
