North Cross School ~ Boosters

Boosters

The Boosters raise funds that are used to support the School's athletic program. Run by parents, the group's mission is to enhance the athletic environment for all students so they may have a positive, rewarding, and fulfilling athletic experience as part of their overall education at North Cross School.

Boosters volunteers operate admission gates and concessions stands at various athletic events and serve in scorekeeping and other volunteer capacities as needed.

The group also coordinates the Raider Pass program. The Raider Pass is a year-long admission card that admits you to any NCS regular season home athletic event for which admission is charged. (Invitational tournaments, conference, and/or state playoff events are not included.) All NCS families may have a Raider Pass; however, a $35 donation is appreciated to support NCS athletic programs. Donors also receive a Booster Decal indicating their support, and the pass entitles the holder to a 10 percent discount on any NCS spirit wear purchase from Boosters.
