Mission
The mission of BLHS Booster Club:
- To unite parents, students, faculty, alumni, and community in the common interest of supporting and encouraging participation in interscholastic programs, recognizing the integral role these programs play in the education and development of our students.
- To instill a sense of school pride and school spirit in all our students and the community at large.
- Through fundraising and family activities, we will promote positive school/community relationships that enhance and support BLHS athletic and academic programs.
Ben Lomond High School Mini Grant
Faculty, student groups and/or clans at Ben Lomond can apply for grant funding to provide enriching collective experiences. The BLHS Booster Club will announce the amount of money available and grants can be submitted anytime, but will not be reviewed and funded until after the beginning of each quarter..
The grants can either be for athletic programs, school based activities or clan events. In our effort to benefit as many students as possible with our limited budget, each grant has to demonstrate that it will impact at least five students.
If your grant is approved, the funds that you are allocated must be used by the end of the following school year. Therefore, money can be rolled over for one school year after it was awarded, however If funds have not been spent after that it will go back into the mini grant account.
Extensions will only be granted if the recipient contacts BLHS Booster Club via the BLHS Booster Club email address and gets approval from BLHS Booster Club and the Principal Steve Poll no later than the last day of the school year.
Any physical equipment, books, materials etc. purchased with these funds must be tracked and will stay with the school if the recipient is no longer affiliated with Ben Lomond High School. These details will be worked out with BLHS Booster Club and administration on a case-by-case basis.

BLHS School Hymn
From the Green Scottish Hills where the Proud Pipers play
to the Great Salt Lake and the Wasatch,
there’s no better Clan nor will there every be
than the Friendly Fighting Scots of Ben Lomond.

and tho o’re the earth we may wander
a part of our hearts will always yearn to be
in the mem’ry Hollowed Halls of Ben Lomond.
