The RayPec Booster Club is dedicated to supporting Raymore-Peculiar students, staff, and school programs.

Our mission is to create a thriving school environment where everyone can participate and succeed.
Our Story
Rooted in Community, Driven by Purpose
The Ray-Pec Athletic Booster Club is an established non-profit organization to encourage parent participation and to raise funds to enhance and expand the Athletic programs that are available to each individual student at Ray-Pec High School.
Your Ray-Pec Athletic Booster Club provides financial support for all athletic programs at the Raymore-Peculiar High School. We provide funding beyond the school budget to enhance the curriculum and experiences of the Ray-Pec High School athletes.
Your Boosters consistently fund tens of thousands of dollars annually in uniforms, equipment, gear and special events throughout the school year. These funds are generated through membership dues, concession sales, spirit apparel sales and several other fund raising activities throughout the school year.
There are many volunteer opportunities for parents and other supporters interested in providing a little time and assistance with this very important objective of raising such funds needed to support our children’s athletic activities.
