FROM THE HEAD COACH
"This football program has the opportunity to write a special story. We could ascend to compete for championships on the field while utilizing football to transform the lives of student-athletes off the field. We each share the power to contribute toward that collective destiny."

TOUCHDOWN CLUB & PARENT/GUARDIAN/ALUMNI VOLUNTEERING
In order for our football program to fulfill it's potential, we must create a culture where our players, parents, coaches, alumni, and other stakeholders regularly engage with each other. We must establish relationships with our peers that motivate the actions necessary for us to succeed. This can't only exist during the season; it should be year-round.
A good way for parents to start building these relationships is through the Touchdown Club. This is our booster club which supports our football program through fundraising and event management. Learn more about the Touchdown Club here. Then, attend a meeting to become an active participant.
The Touchdown Club provides opportunities for parents, guardians, and alumni to be active participants in the football program. It takes a village for us to accomplish our goal of providing a transformative experience for our student-athletes. Committing as little as one hour per month to a committee (here are existing committees) enables participants to impact the program.
Please complete this form if you are willing to participate in a committee.
