Donate a Class Plaque and Help with Restoration

Don’t let your class be left out! 

The 50 Year Club is asking each class of Mineral Wells High School to help with an exciting project. As you know, the Lillian Peek Home Economics building is being restored. The original brick walkway leading to the building from 5th Street has sustained a lot of damage over the years and also needs to be restored. Work has already begun on a new walkway. We would like for each class to donate $2,000 to help with this restoration. With your donation you will receive an engraved concrete plaque with your class name. Below is the first plaque donated by the Class of 1949.

Don’t let your class be left out!

Have your class representative contact the 50 Year Club offices today; donate $2,000 and have your class name placed in the walkway for future generations to see.
