COLONY — An $80,000 donation from the Goppert Foundation will help with upgraded equipment at Crest High School’s workshop.

The donation was announced at Tuesday’s CHS basketball games.

“This donation will greatly impact the student opportunities delivered in our shop and the safety and integrity of the facility moving forward,” Crest Superintendent of Schools Shane Walter said in a press release.

The donation was sought through the efforts of the Crest Education Foundation, which has pursued outside funding sources to support Crest USD 479 for the past 21 years.
