St. Louis Elementary School

Fr. Ernest began St. Louis Elementary School soon after becoming headmaster at St. Louis High School in 2008. As an avid gardener would, he designed a plan to develop children who could eventually attend the high school. Fr. Ernest's connection with Tek4Kids was a natural fit because he loves technology. When he met Tek4Kids founder Gary Boice, he realized they had a common goal to benefit the community through technology.

The growing relationship between Fr. Ernest and Tek4Kids has been mutually beneficial: it has allowed Tek4Kids to establish roots in Jeremie and has raised the school's profile. Fr. Ernest's plan to help the children flourish from the elementary level has proven to be a winning aspect of the program.

Tek4Kids has been a valuable partner in support of the vision of exposing the young to technology.
