Legacy Project
The Legacy Project is a new initiative this year to bring the school community together to leave a legacy for future generations. In this, our pilot year, our staff was asked to develop their own legacy project to improve the school. 

There are many exciting Legacy projects that you can become involved in. See below for a list and contact information.

The G Wing Restoration Project- Our staff is working to make our G wing aesthetically attractive representing the classes offered in the wing and supporting our core values. The team has worked
to repaint the G wing and fix broken clocks, doors, etc. If you would like to be a part of this project please contact Anthony Priest at anthony.priest@dc.gov

What is GSA?  Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) is a student-run club, typically in a high school or middle school, which provides a safe place for students to meet, support each other, talk about issues related to sexual orientation and gender identity and expression, and work to end homophobia and transphobia.

The McKinley Technology High School chapter of the GSA works in conjunction with the Gay-Straight Alliance Network, a youth leadership organization that connects school-based Gay-Straight Alliances (GSAs) to each other and community resources through peer support, leadership development, and training. GSA Network supports young people in starting, strengthening, and sustaining GSAs and builds the capacity of GSAs to:

Club Mission

  1. create safe environments in schools for students to support each other and learn about homophobia and other oppressions,
  2. educate the school community about homophobia, gender identity, and sexual orientation issues, and
  3. fight discrimination, harassment, and violence in schools.
  4. expose GSA students to a variety of issues regarding LGBTQ culture and provide increased exposure to positive role models within the community and community service events

Special schoolwide events:

Coffee talks once a month with guest speakers of the LGBTQ community

Participation in the national No Name Calling Week, including the creative expression contest

Over 150 students signed pledges to end name calling and violence here at McKinley
