Palatka Jr.-Sr. High School administration is aware of reports that some students may be soliciting community members for donations in the name of fundraising for athletic programs without school authorization.

We are actively working to identify the students involved and will address the matter in accordance with our school expectations and disciplinary procedures.

In the meantime, we ask community members to refrain from donating to any individual claiming to represent a school fundraiser unless they are participating in an approved event, in uniform, and accompanied by an adult sponsor.

We greatly appreciate the continued support our community provides to our students and programs and want to ensure that all fundraising efforts are conducted appropriately and with transparency.
