What will my Booster Donation Go to Purchase this Year?: This year's Booster Club funds will be used to assist with the purchasing of a new "SNAG Golfing" classroom/coaching set for the athletics and physical education programs here at Oakhill. This new (safe to use; not real golf clubs and balls)  piece of equipment will allow Oakhill students to be introduced to the game of golf in PE class, along with it being incorporated into the after-school athletics programs (Panthers on the Prowl). - Cost - $2,500.00 for the complete classroom set. You may find a picture of the set in the 2018 – 2019 Booster Club Welcome Letter. If you have questions feel free to email Coach Smith. You may also visit the website at www.snaggolf.com to learn more.

Help us make this the best season yet for all our Panther student-athletes!!! Sign up to Volunteer for Booster!!
