HSC is in a great position with some ‘one time’ money we are able to spend on things not in our usual recurring budget. This is because of very generous donations by our community members, including a recent stock donation. To maximize impact, we prioritized projects that benefit all students. After gathering input from students, staff, and administration, we selected a golf cart for ASB operations and additional lunch seating. Both will enhance the student experience at Leigh. We are so grateful for our donors who have made these possible!
