WHY: For the 2017-18 school year, the South High student body voted to support the LUNGevity Foundation as their philanthropy project. One reason the students chose this organization was to honor Eileen Moroney, South High Fine Arts Secretary, who was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer. Read the Blue Print article and watch this video to learn more about Mrs. Moroney’s story.
