He’s not just a recent state representative and, more notably, an Advocate columnist. Bill Keffer is also the chairman of the LHHS academic booster club, Wild for Cats.

Keffer stopped by the Advocate offices today to discuss what exactly an academic booster club does, why the high school needs both an academic booster club and a PTA, how LHHS academic fundraising compares to its athletic fundraising ($117,000 vs. $285,000, according to Keffer and this DMN article), and how LHHS teachers are supporting the cause.
