STAFF AND JAHS ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT REPORTS
John A. Holmes High School Athletic Director Wes Mattera recently announced the opening of registration for the 350 Club.
The athletic department is striving to provide student-athletes on each team the best equipment and is looking to update some field equipment for the 2025-26 Athletics Season.
“I am asking you to continue to help our athletes strive to be the best they can be by renewing your 350 Board Club membership,” Mattera said in a brochure. “We are looking to expand our membership to include not only signs on the 350 Board but all around the fence around the Stadium/Track complex as well. If you know of someone that is not already a member, please encourage them to join a growing 350 Club.”
For $350, membership in the 350 Club includes:
- Two All-Sport Passes
- Reserved Parking (Scoreboard end of the stadium)
- Year-Round Advertisement
Those who submit a contribution will receive their 350-Club package in early August.
