Dear Mako Supporter,
Orange Beach City Schools is on an extraordinary journey, and we couldn’t be more excited about our incredible achievements over the last two years. Our outstanding state test scores have propelled us into the ranks of Alabama’s academic elite, and being named the 2024 Softball National Champions by MaxPreps and winning the 4A Cheerleading State Championship has positioned us as a symbol of athletic success state and nationwide.
Now, we’re preparing to unveil the crown jewel of our athletic department: a $46.1 million state-of-the-art athletic complex, opening in August 2025. This one-of-a-kind facility will host thousands of spectators, providing an unparalleled platform for showcasing your company’s offerings to a captivated audience.
To our Local Businesses and Corporations:
Our goal is simple—we want to partner with each and every one of you. If you’re on the island, you’re already a part of the Mako family. Your support is vital, and together, we can continue to strengthen our community and showcase the pride of Orange Beach.
To our Regional Sponsors:
We invite you to cast your net wide and join us in this exciting journey. By partnering with us, you’ll not only gain visibility within our community but also become part of a national spotlight as Orange Beach continues to be recognized for excellence both on and off the field.
This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to align your brand with our growing success. Don’t miss out—partner with us and help us achieve even greater heights!
Sincerely,
William R. Wilkes, Superintendent
