Hey Volunteers, we did it! Because of your generosity—your willingness to be ALL INThe Allene M. Springer Center for Recreation & Performing Arts is nearing completion! We excitedly anticipate the grand opening of the Center and can’t wait to see our students and families enjoy the new space.

The CHOOSE TO BE ALL IN campaign has been extremely successful, and we ask that you join us, along with the Starkville Academy Booster Club, as we finish out this fundraising campaign with the expansion/renovation of our existing gymnasium.

This gymnasium expansion/renovation will accomplish the following:

Provide a visitor seating area to accommodate an additional 200 spectators

• Create needed office space for our athletic director and several coaches freeing several existing spaces for academic programs

• Add four new locker rooms

• Allow Starkville Academy to host MAIS basketball tournaments

We listened to your feedback from SA’s annual patron survey and discussions about construction on the Allene M. Springer Center for Recreation and Performing Arts. It is clear this gymnasium expansion/renovation project is highly desired by our patrons.

We need $400,000 for this vision to become a reality and to finalize the ALL IN campaign. If you have not already done so, please CHOOSE TO BE ALL IN today!
