About the Legacy Linebackers Booster Club

Legacy Linebackers is an independent, non-profit organization created to support the Legacy Line Drill Team.  Any parent of a Legacy Line team member is eligible to be a member of the Legacy Linebackers Booster Club.  The Booster Club meets four times each year — two times in the fall and two times in the spring.

The primary objectives of the Linebackers are to:

  • Provide a safe and positive environment for the education and artistic growth of the Legacy Line team members;

  • Promote a closer and collaborative relationship between parents, Legacy Line team members, and WHS faculty and staff, in an atmosphere of mutual cooperation, support, trust, and respect;

  • Encourage a high level of achievement for the Legacy Line team members;

  • Provide additional access to resources (including adult participation and financial resources) that are necessary to support the Legacy Line team members;

  • Promote high standards among the Legacy Line team members in the following areas- education, fine arts, dance/artistic achievement, and personal ethics/morals;

  • Support the Legacy Line in a manner that is consistent with the principles, rules, regulations, and guidelines established by the University Interscholastic League (UIL), FISD, WHS, and WHS’s Faculty and Staff.
