The Walnut Hills High School Touchdown Club Welcomes You

The purpose of the Touchdown Club and this site is to support the football program at Walnut Hills High School. The Touchdown Club is a group of parents and supporters dedicated to the development of Eagle football. As this page develops, the WHHS Touchdown Club will post and revise information about the current year's team, resources for athletes and their parents, fundraising, and a look back at Walnut Hills Football through the years.

Current and former players and coaches are welcome to contribute material to this site. This project was undertaken by the Touchdown Club and a WHHS alumnus who registered the domain and set up this simple site. Any WHHS alumni or supporters with expertise in graphic design and web development willing to donate/discount time and materials, please contact the Administrator of this site.
