"Your support this year allowed me to challenge my students with the latest technology and further prepare them for college architectural or engineering programs... Through your vision and your trust in me to provide for the needs of the students, our students are well prepared for the next step after high school." - Mike Huntsman, Technology
“With Academic Boosters support we have been able to fund a Counselor, enabling us to truly make a difference in the lives of our students.
