Terri McDougal
President

Gate Worker Chair

Phone:   785-488-3471

Cell:       785-416-0003

E-mail:   newtdmail@yahoo.com

Terri and her husband Warren have lived in the district now going on 4 years and are very happy to be here.  With their two boys, Shea - a senior this year, and Sean - a 6th grader, the McDougal's have called many places home.  Starting with their marriage, Terri and Warren lived in Glasgow, Mt., Garden City, KS (where the boys were born), Highlands Ranch, Co., Caldwell, Id, and finally back to Kansas and Bennington.  Deep Kansas roots kept bringing us back and it is here where they want to stay. 

"I'm very excited for the upcoming year, and bringing some new things to the booster club, and the school's spirit," says Terri.  "The experience we can help provide our kids with a strong booster club is essential for a healthy future." 

This year we have the opportunity to make a difference for many years to come.  We are working toward the improvement of the antiquated sound system in our stadium. That is a big ticket item, and will require a great deal of help from our friends and alumni.  But Bulldog Boosters are great so I have no doubt that we will be hearing clearly in the near future.
