A Yes on H benefits the entire community. Strong, well-maintained schools contribute to higher property values, attract families and businesses, and create a positive environment for growth. Over 500 children use the school fields for soccer and baseball, making these facilities a hub for local activities and recreation. Quality schools also produce well-educated citizens who become future leaders, employees, and contributors to the local economy. Supporting school improvements is an investment in the overall well-being and prosperity of the community.
