About Us
We Make Colerain Better!
We are a volunteer, non-profit organization supporting extra-curricular activities at Colerain High School.
We raise money for a broad range of activities, including athletics, music, and drama at CHS, along with Colerain and White Oak Middle Schools. We help fund shortfalls and address specific needs identified by coaches/leaders in various board-approved extra-curricular programs.
We want students at Colerain to have a great extra-curricular experience. When parents and the community partner with the schools, we can help provide some “needs” and “wants” to make our programs even more competitive.
Some of the projects we’ve funded over the past 5 years:

- Stadium Renovations
- New Ticket Booths

- Purchase & Maintenance of Cardinal Van

Sandi has spent nearly her entire adult life in Colerain, raising her three Colerain educated kids and enjoying her five grandkids, three of whom are Colerain products, as well (Tyler 2023, Carter 2024 and Lyla 2026). She feels Boosters plays a vital role in supporting Colerain’s programs and enhancing the student experience, and she wholeheartedly believes the happiness of volunteering lies in the profound impact it has on our community’s well-being and the joy of giving back. On any given afternoon, you can find Sandi and her husband, Bret Sager, on the campus, working on yet another beautification project. To quote Bret “this is the reason we retired, to give back”.

Cardinal Corner Spirit Shop
The Cardinal Corner is BACK!
Located in the front hall of the school, directly across from the auditorium, you will find the OFFICIAL spiritwear and accessories every fan needs! And 100% of the proceeds benefits the Boosters! Shopping in person offers a satisfying experience that online shopping can’t replicate, so you won’t find an online store…in person shopping only! Can’t find the size you need? No worries, we can order your exact size and let you know when it is available! No shipping charges or delays!
Cardinal Corner is typically open Tuesday 3:00-5:30, Wednesday 10:30-1:00, and Friday 10:00-1:00 and 2:00-4:30. On Friday home games, the Corner will be set up in Cardinal Village (across from the Stadium entrance) 5:00-3rd quarter. We are also open during special events at the school – meet the team night, conference times, college showcase, etc. ***Please consult social media for changes to this schedule, as the store is manned by volunteers! There is also a sign posted outside of the Corner’s door each week with hours, so your student can look the hours up, as well!
For your convenience, we accept cash, credit and debit cards, Venmo and Apple Pay.
Come in and see what you have been missing!

To commemorate this momentous occasion, a series of special events and activities have been meticulously planned, including alumni reunions, historical reenactments, and a grand centennial gala. These celebrations will not only pay homage to our rich history but also set the stage for a promising future as we continue to provide exceptional education to generations yet to come. Join us in this once-in-a-lifetime celebration as we reflect on our past achievements and look forward to the countless successes that lie ahead. Let us come together as a community to mark the centenary of our school, a true beacon of knowledge, and a source of inspiration for a hundred years and beyond.

Corporate Sponsorship
Our corporate partners play a critical role in fundraising for these projects. What’s the benefit for businesses that help the Boosters? We provide visibility to a school with over 1,700 students at CHS and over 1,200 combined students at Colerain and White Oak Middle Schools. That number would multiply considering family, alumni, relatives and friends. We have well-attended events throughout the year across the spectrum of activities. Friday night football along with the marching band is a community tradition in Colerain and Green Township.
Beyond the marketing awareness, investment in our students is ultimately an investment in the health of our schools and community.
