Ken Locke Stadium is turning 85 years old this year! As many of you may know the Knoxville School Board has approved the SOS proposal to raise funds to maintain and upgrade the Stadium for Knoxville Community activities and/or sporting events!
With the theme of “85”, we are kicking off the KHS CLASS CHALLENGE SOS FUND RAISING EVENT!
Think of the funds we could raise if every Alumnus donated $85.00 or if every class donated $8,500.00 or $85,000?!
Here are the details: We will keep track of each classes’ donations from now until December 31, 2023. The class with the most funds raised during this time will receive an Alumni Scholarship in their classes’ name AND a class brick with their class name to be etched in the K Club Pillar at the Southwest exterior corner of the Stadium!
