Bobcat Nation,
Houghton Lake Community Schools is seeking businesses, families, alumni, and community members interested in joining our Wall of Fame initiative.
HLCS has partnered with Rocket Alumni Solutions and will be purchasing LED, touch screen, interactive Wall of Fame displays. These displays will be present in the halls of HLHS, in the lobby, by the gym, auditorium, and office for students, staff, alumni, and guests to interact with. These boards will include accomplishments such as our Hall of Fame inductees, valedictorian and salutatorians, athletic champions, Honor Roll members, performing arts participants, and all other celebrations of achievement by our HLHS students and alumni. We truly believe these boards will help us celebrate the excellence that this district has consistently produced, in an exciting and aesthetically pleasing manner.

Thus far, we have received contributions to purchase three of the boards. The Houghton Lake Sports Boosters have generously agreed to purchase a 65" monitor to mount outside of the gym by the trophy cases in celebration of our athletic feats, and we are so excited to highlight their many contributions to HLCS on the donor page. The school's academic organizations are combining to purchase a board for the lobby, to highlight academic excellence. Additionally, our Hall of Fame committee is hoping to mobilize to help purchase a 3rd board that can showcase and highlight the Hall of Fame inductees.
With all of this said, we are seeking 6-10 donors interested in contributing $500 to the initiative. The $500 contribution would get your name on the Wall of Fame donor page for the duration of our contract (3 years), with options to continue when we extend the contract.
Our community has been an overwhelmingly generous contributor to HLHS. There is no obligation or pressure to contribute. Rather, we are just immensely excited by this product and the ramifications it will have in celebrating our district's excellence, and we wanted to give the community the opportunity to participate and to be memorialized in these displays for your contributions to celebrating #BobcatPride.
Unfortunately, due to the pricing for this product changing at the end of the month, all commitments to this donor project are due by next Thursday. I want to again apologize for the short timeframe I have given. We have been researching products similar to this for a while, and this one is currently running a deal that was too good for us to pass up. Again, this deal expires next Friday, so all commitments would be due Thursday, January 30th. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me at 989-366-2005 or via email at Goodwinj@hlcsk12.net.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey Goodwin\
Principal, HLHS
