About Us...
The SHS
Booster Club was organized in 1980 and since has been striving to
promote and enhance school activities and athletics. Good
sportsmanship and community support are encouraged through the
club. The club works to engage in projects that exemplify
this purpose. In addition to school activity sponsorship,
each year the club recognizes several graduating seniors with
scholarships.
The booster club coordinates and promotes events throughout the
year to keep with the mission of the booster club. Activities
include the kick off picnic, tailgates held prior to the home
football games, chili feeds in conjunction with parent teacher
conferences, working with DECA to coordinate, market and sell
apparel and spirit items, and the annual pancake feed held in the
spring. Over the last three years the booster club has
assisted with The Andy Pepler Memorial Golf Tournament with the
monies all going to the booster club and high school athletics with
this years total proceeds being $16,000.. On December 31,
2007 we will hold our 3rd annual New Years Eve Reverse
Raffle Gala. This New Years Eve event has profited over
$35,000 in the past two years and became the seed money for the
electronic marquee
located on East 27th Street, and the newly installed Football
Scoreboard. The booster clubs in the past have
coordinated an alumni basketball tournament and plans are being
made to hold this again in 2008.
During the 2006-2007 year the booster club awarded over $32,000 for
item for the school. The list of awards include a wrestling
mat, a break-away basketball rim, chenille “S” letters,
