Our Proposal: Introduction

Our School Our SIP objective

Northern Vance High School

Principal Brian Creasman

Yearly enrolment is between 900 and 1100 students (current enrolment is approximately 980)

“NVHS students will graduate with the knowledge and skills to be successful in the 21st Century.”

Supports State Board of Education goals 1, 2, and 5

We have created a grant proposal which will address the gaps in Northern Vance’s current 1:1 initatives intended to move students into the 21st Century.

We researched several technology grants and settled on one that we think will help Northern Vance reach their goal.
