From bake sales to dog treats, empowering our students to have agency and create, sell and serve to customers teaches invaluable, lifelong lessons that are so much more than the lemonade stand.

How do we foster our students’ sense of altruism, and care for the wider community, for our planet? What started as Project Hope in early 2019 by three THS teachers to improve the lives of others has grown into the Social Impact and Sustainability Program (SISP), a three-stage plan to grow awareness and opportunities for more students and teachers to volunteer and act for the future they want.
