For the FIRST TIME in school history, The 2024 Taylor Football Team secured a Sectional Championship.

Taylor High School is my high school. I graduated in 1991, and I ran cross country and track. My mom was the librarian there from 1984 to 1995. The head football coach, Coach Patchett, is a great educator, motivator, and mentor to ALL students, not just his players.

But he needs the tools necessary to compete. We are seeking a complete weight room overhaul, but $4000 will outfit the gym with 5 sets of Olympic plate sets that would benefit ALL sports teams and a Strength and Conditioning class that will begin next semester.

Some quick facts:

67% of Taylor students are classified as "Economically Disadvantaged"

College Readiness Score: 10.7 out of a possible 100.

Graduation rate: 78% (well below the state median)
