Walt Whitman All-Sports Booster Club
Greetings Whitman Community,
Our Whitman All-Sports Boosters Club funds athletic improvements and safety enhancements for our Vikings and entire community. We augment our athletic department budget which is only partially funded by MCPS. All Whitman students benefit because much of our funding goes to improve our athletic facilities. Our club began in 1995 and continues to be “Whitman Strong!” In fact, Whitman Sports were voted “Best MCPS Sports Program” by the Washington Post in 2023!

Through your generous donations the All-Sports Booster Club has been able to purchase the following athletic improvements: Electronic message board in front school sign, gym floors renovations, cross country/track training aides and high jump crash mat, volleyball serving machines, weight room equipment, stadium scoreboard/turf/sound system/concessions support, poms banner, wrestling mats, football helmets, gymnastics uneven bars and mats, Hudl school-wide subscription (system which allows coaches/players to analyze video to improve performance), lacrosse tech, field hockey face masks, balls of all kinds, nets, goals, team bags, uniforms, scoring tables, clocks, baseball scoreboard/pitching machine/safety nets, softball dug-out gates, basketball training aides, continuing education for coaches, etc.

Mock SAT/ACTs:
Every fall and spring, we offer practice SATs and ACTs for all of our students (primarily 10th and 11th graders.) Students take the tests in-person at Whitman. These mock tests are administered by Capital Educators in a similar manner to the actual tests. Mock tests are a great way for students and/or parents to gain familiarity with the test formats, build confidence, and decide which test, the ACT or the SAT, is a better fit.
