WHAT ARE THE BEACONS?

"The Beacons" are a yearly celebration sponsored by the Salem-Keizer High School Sports Booster Club. The goal of the event is to recognize individuals who have shown excellence and leadership through high school athletics. Some have actually participated in S-K athletics, some have coached and/or administered, and some have just made sure high school athletics in Salem-Keizer actually happen. Many have fulfilled all those roles. But each of our Beacons are people who have been role models for the rest of us, shining a light on the importance of high school athletics.

We will also celebrate the 'best of the best' of today's high school athletes as we recognize the Athlete of the Year for each of the OSAA-sponsored sports offered in the Salem-Keizer School District. This brings together today's athletes with those who have gone before. Today's athletes get to see the shoulders upon which they now stand and those being honored as Beacons get to see a glimpse of the future."

The Salem-Keizer High School Sports Booster Club have distributed $12,000 to each of the six Salem-Keizer high schools for the purpose of increasing or ensuring athletic participation. Schools have or will use the money to remove any financial barriers faced by a student-athlete who wishes to participate.

Our continuing efforts to help remove the financial barriers for students is only possible because of your support and generosity! The Beacon event is one of the ways we raise money by recognizing outstanding former and current athletes, coaches, administrators, and supporters from the Salem-Keizer School District. 

Because high school sports matter.
