Support Eagle and Maverick booster clubs
The Maize High School and Maize South High School Booster Clubs work closely together with Maize USD 266 to provide support and funding for athletic needs not included in the athletic department budget. The most beneficial way the community can support booster clubs is to purchase an All District Athletic Pass. The pass is an easy and convenient way for families to save money to attend home sporting events during the school year. The pass works for both middle and high school games for the Eagles and Mavericks. Tournament/playoff games are excluded. There are four pass types available:
- Family pass, which includes four cards
- Individual student pass
- Individual adult pass
- District pass, which is for current and retired Maize USD 266 employees.

The school with the most nominations will win $1,000 in school supplies, and we will select a deserving teacher from that building to win a $500 classroom stipend. Thank you, participants!
