Drive to Distinction (D2D) is Shorewood’s ambitious effort to raise nearly $5.6 million to renovate Shorewood High School’s outdoor athletic facilities. Our schools define our community, and the Shorewood High School campus is the centerpiece.The current facilities have not been renovated in over 30 years. The field, track, bleachers, concession area, and softball field are all in need of immediate attention. It is vital that these facilities reflect Shorewood’s commitment to enhancing academic and athletic excellence in our public schools and our entire community.
Nearly $3 million has already been raised for this project. That’s a great start, but much more will be needed to make this dream become a reality!
