King High School Fundraiser
Donation protected
King High school opened in 1960 with 58 faculty members and 960 students. Since then, the school has grown to 1800 students. The school is located within a low-income area and many of the students come from nearby areas.
King High School is one of the best high schools in the Tampa Bay area with its IB program receiving universal praise. King high graduates have gone to reputed colleges like Harvard, NYU Stern, University Of Pennsylvania (UPenn), etc.
The current IT infrastructure at King High School is characterized by desktop/laptops which are 10 years old.
Students at the school use the desktop/laptops to conduct research, complete online assignments and take state tests (such as the FSA).
There is a serious need for these machines to be replaced by relatively newer machines that would process new research/testing programs and be portable.
Hillsborough school district, in which King High School is located has been going through budget cuts. This is demonstrated by the fact that local taxes had to be increased to fund basic infrastructure problems like AC repair and leaky roofs (https://www.tampabay.com/blogs/baybuzz/2018/11/06/hillsborough-voters-approve-sales-tax-hikes-for-transportation-schools-improvements/).
