Our Plan

We Can Improve The Stadium With Your Help

We have already updated the field with new grass and rerouted the drainage to improve the safety of our students and athletes. We need to remodel buildings and resurface the track to complete our renovations. With your help, our community bowl can be restored for our wonderful students & their families.

The School Board, County, and City can only help financially in certain areas and cannot fund the complete renovation needed. The bowl has only received temporary fixes and we need alumni, businesses, and families who care about our school and community to help support this important & necessary community project.

About MDHS Stadium

A Community Bowl Since 1962

The stadium and field at Mount Dora High School has seen some of the greatest times of student’s lives for more than 60 years. From football games, cheerleading, soccer games, track and field meets, graduation ceremonies, school assemblies, PE classes, charity events, and more.

The Mount Dora Community Trust agreed to set up a fund under their umbrella for this renovation project, at the request of the Stadium Committee. This 501(c)(3) tax deductible philanthropic project is known as “The MDHS Stadium Improvement Fund”. They are not charging fees for this project.

100% OF FUNDS RAISED WILL BE USED TO REPAIR THE MDHS STADIUM.

If the overall goal is not met, we will be doing all we can to repair the facility. However, the plan is to continue fundraising until we can follow through with all phases.
