Greetings Parents!

Welcome to the Aptos High School Booster Club!


We’re thrilled you stopped by—and even more excited about the year ahead. Together, we have the opportunity to make a lasting impact on the Aptos High School community.

 

Founded in 1970, the Aptos High School Booster Club is a fully independent 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. For over five decades, we’ve proudly supported Aptos students by funding critical gaps in curriculum and extracurricular activities. Our support spans a wide range of programs and initiatives, including:

🎓 Academics
🎨 Arts
🏃 Athletics
🎯 Career & College Readiness
🤝 Clubs
💻 Software & Technology

 

In addition to our general operations, we organize and administer several key fundraisers throughout the year:

🛍️ Mariner Wear Sales (Year-Round)
🚗 Drive for Schools (September–October)
🍲 Support Empty Bowls / Second Harvest Food Bank
🎉 Grad Night Planning & Execution

 

We’re proud to have a dedicated board made up of passionate parents—most of whom work full-time and volunteer their time to keep the Booster Club thriving. But we can’t do it alone.

💬 We Need You!

Your involvement—whether big or small—is vital to our success. Join us at monthly meetings, help evaluate funding requests, lead subcommittees, or lend a hand at events. The Booster Club connects parents, teachers, and the school community, helping ensure every student has the support they need to succeed.

 

Parent involvement isn’t just beneficial—it’s empowering. Volunteering offers a meaningful way to stay engaged, build community, and create positive change in a world that often feels out of our control.

📣 Additional Ways to Support:

  • Ask your company about making a corporate donation

  • Set up an ongoing employee contribution through your workplace

  • Purchase Mariner Wear to show your school spirit

Thank you for being so supportive—and we hope to see you soon!
