Band Instrument Repair & Replacement (2025-2026)
The Instrumental Music Department of Desert Hot Springs High School is in need of instruments due to the rapid growing enrollment of the program. With this grant we can ensure students will not have to share instruments with another or rent them on their own. We will also be able to make sure that instruments are repaired and are in prime working condition for the students

Second Chance Algebra (2013-2014)
The Second Chances in Algebra Project uses methods of alternative learning to help Desert Hot Springs Students succeed at math. Each student receives a Chromebook, allowing them to complete special online projects and assignments. As a result, students learn to explore math in new ways while increasing their technological literacy. Parents also play a vital part in this system, meeting with counselors throughout the semester and helping their students stay on track with coursework. By increasing communication between parents, teachers, and counselors, this program provides many levels of support for participating students, allowing them to reach their full potential.
