The Montgomery Blair High School Athletic Boosters support the athletic programs at Blair via fund-raising, hosting of special events, and operation of the school concession stands. The Boosters provide funding for athletic-specific expenditures such as field re-seeding, athletic equipment, portable bleachers, and other items; as well as contributing to non-athletic events such as After-Prom.  Membership is free and is open to all parents, teachers, administrators, and others interested in supporting the school's athletic programs.  To make our online communications more effective, we have established a Yahoo group specifically for those interested in volunteering their time and talents .   To subscribe, simply send an email to:
