Project Graduation. (You can order your senior yard signs through the Project Graducation link!)
McCallum Project Graduation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit run by parent volunteers that serves the mission of providing fun and inclusive drug and alcohol-free activities for all seniors to celebrate their achievement in graduation from McCallum High School! Its core activities are selling the senior yard signs during the fall, providing ride-share vouchers for prom and other significant senior celebration days, putting on the Senior Breakfast before the start of finals, and putting on the Senior Carnival at the end of school. There is a lot of fundraising and volunteering required to make all of this a reality. Project Graduation is funded entirely by McCallum families, McCallum community school PTAs, and local business sponsors without any financial support from AISD.
New volunteers are always welcome, from all years! Learn more and donate to support Project Graduation here: Mac project grad on square
Class of 2025 - Project Graduation/Project Graduation Fundraising
Project Graduation's fundraising has officially launched! We are looking for business sponsors who want to support fun, safe, and substance- and alcohol-free events celebrating the Class of 2025! We've created a handy flyer you can leave with any business (your employer! your vet! your dry cleaners! your insurance agent! your ortho!) and a sample letter you can cut and paste into an email. It's so easy to ask! And excess funds that we raise this year will roll over to next year's senior class.
THANK YOU, MAC FAMILIES!!!
