Dixon Students Powered Up for Learning Thanks to Derrick Brooks Charities

At Dixon School of Arts and Sciences, learning is hands-on, creative, and future-focused. Thanks to the generous donation of Chromebooks from Derrick Brooks Charities, students now have even greater access to the digital tools they need to explore, create, and grow.

Principal Kevin Kovacs recently shared photos of Dixon students actively using the donated devices, researching, collaborating, and engaging in meaningful classroom experiences that blend S.T.E.A.M. and the arts. The impact is immediate and tangible.

“We utilize every resource, grant, and potential donor that we can because we want to provide our Dixon students with the best S.T.E.A.M.-focused and arts-rich education possible,” Kovacs shared. “Our goal is that our students grow to love learning!”

That commitment to fostering curiosity and creativity is exactly why partnerships like this matter. Access to reliable technology doesn’t just support assignments, it opens doors to innovation, digital literacy, collaboration, and confidence.

At Dixon, Chromebooks are more than devices. They’re tools that:

  • Enable interactive S.T.E.A.M. learning

  • Support arts integration and creative expression

  • Encourage collaboration and problem-solving

  • Prepare students for an increasingly digital future

Community partnerships play a critical role in making these opportunities possible. When organizations invest in students, they invest in the future of the entire community.

At Derrick Brooks Charities, we are grateful for opportunities to empower young learners at schools like Dixon expand what’s possible in the classroom.

Here’s to growing curiosity, building skills, and inspiring a lifelong love of learning together!
