About Us

In Midland, we are fortunate to live in a community with award-winning schools that offer stellar academics, the arts, various clubs, and numerous boys and girls sports for our students. The majority of Dow High School’s student body plays one or more sports. Being part of a team, living a healthy, active lifestyle and setting goals help make these students successful in life. The Dow High Sports Booster Club is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that encourages the values of sportsmanship, teamwork and character development and recognizes the need for financial support and volunteerism to keep our sports programs strong.
