E.V.E (Eagle Valley Express)
Youth Project-
was the Brainchild of Two Watonga High School teachers in 1979. Carle King Sr. & Mr. Ron Burgess-both of these Brilliant Men were very Inspirational and very much looked to as Motivational Leaders in the Community. Their Vision was to implement a Youth Program that would cater to the Youth and better suit them to achieve success,not only in the classroo
m, but also, better prepare them for life after High School. So, with little funding and support at first-these amazing motivational men took it upon themselves to create a after-school program, unlike any program of its kind-during that time and Created The Eagle Valley Express-Education & Recreation Program, which grew and kept growing-achieving all the success as they had envisioned and planned-not only exceeding its expectations-but also went on to have Nationwide Acclaim-with other Cities and Schools Systems across the nation inquiring about the Eagle Valley Express Program. This program gave much needed guidance and direction to the Watonga Youth at the time-and now with the support of this Community,We wish to Revive this Program today, using the SAME EXACT Principles as Mr. Carle King & Mr. Ron Burgess to make this program a success, once again in the community of Watonga. So, it is now that I hold these two gentlemen in high esteem for giving me inspiration as a young man and as a product of the Original Eagle Valley Express it has helped me to achieve my life goals and dreams. I salute both of these remarkable men for a Job Well Done! I am indebted to them both for inspiring me and giving me guidance as a young man.
-90% of Success-is merely having the Ability to Show Up! So Show Up and give your Support for this Program, our Youth deserve This! Thank You,
