Academic booster Club

Founded to promote,encourage and recognize exemplary achievements in academics, leadership, citizenship, and personal development among Sanderson students.

How do we “bring out the best” in high school? Is it through Clubs? Football games? Pep Rallies? Dances? Why, “YES” to all of this . . . but most importantly, high school is meant to promote, encourage, and recognize achievements in academics, leadership, citizenship, and personal development among all students. That’s the purpose of the Sanderson Academic Booster Club as well. This is a club of parents who are enthusiastic in promoting ALL of these values. We strive to “Bring out the Best” in each student.
