Highlander Charter School

The Highlander Hawks had a very successful season winning the RI Coastal Prep League championship in 2018. As we prepare for this year we are expanding our program to offer both JV and Varsity basketball for our students. Offering the opportunity to be part of a team to more students comes with an increased expense. The benefits to our student body however are immeasurable. To help curb this expense, I will personally coach both teams. Our biggest expense will be transportation as we will have to contract a larger bus to transport our teams to away games. An additional expense will be referees for the JV games. I will personally do everything I can to make sure that we are able to offer two teams this year. 

A donation made to this project will directly impact Highlander students by providing them with the opportunity to participate in practices, games, and team building activities that will support life long learning lessons such as team work, cooperation, time management, leadership skills, and a healthy lifestyle.

Your gifts will help us reach our budget goal:

Transportation- $1400
Referee Fees- $400
JV Uniforms- $300
Practice Equipment- $200
Senior Night Festivities- $200

Practice for the 2017-2018 season starts in November!

Highlander is committed to taking all 8th grade students to Washington, DC despite their ability to pay.  About 80% of our students live at or below the poverty level!

The cost for the trip is just $400 per student and includes all transportation, lodging, meals, and entrance fees.

Our trip is from April 28th through April 30th and we will be visiting, the Capitol, Smithsonian Museums and more.

Every year students report that this trip opens their eyes and changs their lives.
