About Us
We are students of the Madison Early College High School who were all impacted by Hurricane Helene. We are all well aware of the damage, and want to do our part to ensure that the voices of our community are heard. We aim to encourage community engagement, student development, and a sense of place amongst the wreckage. We are taking initiative in this challenge-based learning project for ENG 111 and ENG 232 (American Literature) to document firsthand experiences that will educate future generations of this historic tragedy.
