In our program, The Touchdown Club receives payments for playing football at Del Norte High School, and it is a 501c3 charity. As a result, any contribution you make to us may be eligible to receive a employer matching funds.

Nighthawk Football Players & TD Club Thank Administration and Foundation

In February, leaders of the varsity football team, the Touchdown Club and Coach Cole met with Del Norte Principal Bryan Schultz, Athletic Director Mike Giaime, and DNHS Athletic Foundation President Dave Wheeler.

The Nighthawks thanked the Administration and Foundation for their support this academic year which contributed to a successful fall season.
