It Just Sort Of Faded Away What Happened To School Support Foundation
The High Point School Support Foundation formed in fall 1967 to boost school spirit with emphasis on athletics. It acted with the school board, funded blazers, juice for athletes, travel for teams, and coaching upgrades. By 1968 a joint committee reorganized efforts and most goals were reached. the foundation became inactive as tasks were absorbed by the Blue White Booster Club, which later inherited residual funds and continued related support through new programs.
