The Buccaneer Sports Boosters Club was founded in the late 1960’s and was originally called the “Buccaneer Banquet Committee”. Steve Sluka, the Athletic Director, and a small group of coaches and administrators met informally and planned recognition banquets in honor of the sport teams. This group evolved into the Buccaneer Sports Boosters in the early 1980’s. The group continued to meet informally, and in addition to the banquets, put together programs for the football and basketball teams. In the mid 90’s the BSB worked to expand the membership and involvement with all recognized sports programs. When the Grand Haven High School moved to the new and present location in 1997, the first set of By-laws was adapted.
The BSB actively supports the GHHS athletic programs in a variety of ways. Financial grants are available to all athletic programs, sport participation scholarships are offered, Scholar Athletes receive recognition, outstanding athletic accomplishments are recognized, and college scholarships are awarded. All GHHS concessions athletic events on site are operated by the BSB. The Music Booster and BSB jointly operate concessions for athletic events held at Lakeshore Middle School. Three seasonal sports programs are produced annually. Presently there are 11-15 active committees, and the organization is in the midst of expanding the team representatives from 25 to 35. Meetings are held the first Monday of each month in the Large Group Instruction Room and begin at 6:30. Everyone is welcome to attend. |
