HILLGROVE GRIDIRON CLUB
The Hillgrove Grid Iron Club's purpose is to promote parent/student involvement: coordinate all supporting activities, including feeder programs; encourage attendance at football-related functions; provide those services, facilities, and equipment which the school does not provide; ensure recognition for the football program and its athletes and increase the enjoyment of the fans at all football activities at Hillgrove High School
Being a member of the HGIC means you are a committed member of the Hawk family. You, the parents or guardians of our student-athletes who become members, ultimately determine the priorities for the program. Members decide how we budget and spend our income. You help us ensure we are always acting following our vision of "enabling the success of our student-athletes and coaches." A single general membership entitles the individual or family to one vote on those matters which members shall be called upon to vote, to hold office, and to all other rights and responsibilities of membership in the HGIC. HGIC meetings are open to all members.
Please see the Handbook for additional details.

REGISTRATION PACKET
- June 16, 2023
Note to parents on Registration:
Just following up on completing HS registration as spring practice is nearly upon us! This is a gentle reminder that we need you to register your son for the coming season!
Registration is TWO parts (and for those who donated to the video board initiative, THANK YOU, and please just complete the first step noted below):
- Completing and returning to Jim McKinley (jimmckinley06@gmail.com) the HS Registration form. This can also be returned to Coach.
- Submitting full or partial payment (contact Jim McKinley directly to set up a partial payment plan, we are happy to work with you!).
This can be done via cash or check, via Zelle (to Jim's phone number, 678-446-8346) or via CC on line. (We are trying to save the program the 4% transaction fee so cash, check, or Zelle is preferred.)
If you need to do it via CC, the transaction fee will be added to the total cost. Checks should be made out to HGIC.
Here are the links to pay via CC:
Full Payment
Half Payment
We will have a registration table set up at the gate to the stadium at both the SOAP Scrimmage (May 11) and Spring Scrimmage (May 19th). It is expected that all HS players will register prior to playing in the May 19th scrimmage. Contact Jim McKinley, President of the HGIC, with any questions or concerns.
