Students at KIPP Houston High School are undoubtedly hard-working. With about ten hours of their day spent on campus, students and teachers alike are exhausted by days end, but you wouldn’t be able to tell by the amount of grit and enthusiasm everyone exemplifies. As a way to celebrate this rigor and positivity, we need to provide a campus that mirrors 21^st century college-campuses around the country. Right now, our campus lacks the space and technology that college campuses exemplify. We feel this is important because:

1. by providing this for students, they are better prepared for “college-life” and
2. it provides a happy and comfortable place for them.

If students are happy, they certainly perform better and enjoy the place where they spend the majority of their waking hours. Next year, we hope to transfer our common-space into a 21^st century study area - a space that not only students benefit from academically but a space that they are also proud of and enjoy.
