To help students get started, we’ve created a guide with tips for completing the Common Application that answers many of the questions students may have as they create and submit their applications.

Athletics
Quarterback Club Fundraiser is Still Open!
Did you know that Salpointe doesn’t have a football booster club? The Salpointe football program relies on direct fundraisers like the Quarterback Club, and every dollar makes a real difference for the freshman, JV, and varsity teams.
Quarterback Club members receive:
- A reserved parking space in the Mountain St. lot for all home varsity games
- Two tickets to every home varsity game (excluding AIA playoff games; however, your reserved parking space is still yours if the Lancers host a playoff game)
- A Quarterback Club shirt
- The opportunity to tailgate before every home varsity game with fellow Quarterback Club members (food and beverages are the responsibility of each participant)
The cost is $325, with $225 serving as a tax-deductible donation that directly supports the Lancer football program. Spaces are limited and fill quickly. Reserve your spot here.
