Antler Kid Captain

When kids are faced with a challenging situation, they are often a source of inspiration to those around them- their families, their friends, our entire Elkhorn community. We want to help share that inspiration by recognizing kids through our "Antler Kid Captain" program, in partnership with the Antler Football Booster Club and the Elkhorn Antler Football team.


During the 2024 Elkhorn football season, the Antler FB Boosters will partner once again with the Antlers to feature stories of courage, strength and grit. The Kid Captains will take the field at Antler Stadium prior to the Gretna East home football game on Thursday, September 12th at 7:00 PM.


If your child has been an inspiration to others by showing grit or overcoming an obstacle and is an Elkhorn student, nominate him or her for Kid Captain by clicking the nomination link below.
