Sustainability:

 

When complete, this project will be self-sustaining and will become an additional income for the school.

It will be owned and operated by the school, however, we will need to hire some part-time help to run it on the weekends. We will also need to hire a maintenance/cleaning person to maintain it.

We will be hiring veterans for this.

WHAT INDIVIDUAL FACTORS WILL ALLOW THIS TO BECOME A NATIONAL DESTINATION?

 

  • Most World War II & Holocaust Museums focus very little on the victories and liberation that our U.S. soldiers were involved in.

  • Our Inter-Active Learning Centers will put a big focus on our country’s victories in World War II and how they liberated numerous concentration camps.

  • Through the use of physically built battle grounds and high end technology, the visitor will have an opportunity to “experience” history in a very unique way.

  • This will be the only Inter-Active Learning Center in the world that we know of.

  • Partnering the “experiences”, the inter-active classrooms & one-of-kind inter-active museums focused on WWII & the Holocaust has never been done before at a high school and will set Palm Beach County apart from every other county in the nation.
