Points make headlines. Character makes history. Acalanes builds both.

Every August, the energy shifts at Acalanes, the fields come alive, the gym roars, and the campus awakens with a fresh surge of school spirit. Whether you’re a first-time Don parent or preparing for your Senior’s big final year, welcome back all!  This is where it all begins and where lasting high school memories take shape.

As we kick off another school year, we are reminded that high school and high school sports are woven into the very rhythm of life’s circle. Freshmen step onto campus with dreams and hope, while seniors prepare to take their final bow, leaving behind a legacy rich with dedication and spirit. On the field, the court,  on the track, in the pool, or the mat, Don Pride lives on passed down from class to class, year after year.  We are Acalanes!

Sports is more than just numbers lighting up a scoreboard, it’s a training ground where your Don doesn’t just play, she/he builds a blueprint for life: learning accountability like a quarterback owning every play, developing character like a team captain in the trenches, and forging commitment like an athlete showing up before sunrise. The game ends, but the lessons don’t.

Your Don Mission: How to Step Up This Season

1. Join the Boosters. Becoming a Booster member is the most direct way to support every athlete and every team on campus. Your membership helps fund the Dons in the pool, on the court, on the field, on the mat, and circling the track. When you invest in the program as a whole, you ensure all Dons have what they need to compete and grow, not just your athlete. Purchase a Membership: Click on your Membership Level

2. Wear the Blue.  Wearing Acalanes spirit wear is more than showing school pride; it’s a visible way to support our athletes and build community. Rock the Dons logo at games, around town, and anywhere you go. It sends a powerful message: we’re all in this together. FEAR THE BLUE! Stay in the loop and show your spirit, follow Acalanes Dons on Instagram@acalanes_sports_boosters_or on Facebook at ACA Sports Boosters!

3. Show Up Beyond Your Don’s Games: This season, step up and support beyond your own game, commit to attending 3–5 sporting events outside your sport. When we show up for each other, we’re not just fans we’re building a culture where every Don feels seen, supported, and celebrated. Keep up to date on all Dons Sports

4. Thank a Booster Rep: Our Booster volunteers work hard behind the scenes to keep everything running smoothly. A simple “thank you” or high-five goes a long way to show appreciation. If you want to get involved, just ask, there’s always a way to help.

At Acalanes, We Don’t Just Play to Win, We Play to Grow.
