Students at King Tech High School wear professional clothing to class every Wednesday, but often the clothes they can find don't fit well or just aren't their style. That’s where one class's new business comes in: a clothing store called Pro Fit.
A King Tech High School student browses through a rack of blazers at Pro Fit, a store where Anchorage School District students can shop for professional clothing.
Miller said she came up with the idea for a clothing store, and her students were quickly on board. They helped her look through clothing donations from the community and items she bought at thrift stores to decide what to resell. Students also learned how to organize the inventory and plan the layout of the store. Twelfth grader Lupe’lani Vaaia said it was harder than she expected.
King Tech High School principal Kern McGinley, entrepreneurship teacher Stacy Miller and students cut the ribbon in front of Pro Fit on April 21, 2022.
