Athletic Booster Clubs at South Portland High School are entirely voluntary and exist for the single purpose of enhancing and enriching the interscholastic sports programs for student-athletes. The primary function of Booster Clubs is to provide manpower and funds to augment the various programs, which are to remain under the complete control and direction of the school department and its administration. The South Portland School Department does not direct how booster group leadership is organized or selected. Booster groups may be headed by the varsity head coach, a parent, or by formally elected officers.
