MHS Stadium Fund
When the current Montrose High School was built in the 1960s, the local population was much smaller than it is today. As Montrose and its surrounding areas have grown, so have the needs for improvements to the Montrose Community Stadium. A group of civic-minded community leaders have turned to local businesses and private citizens to plan, fund, and execute a long-term plan that will benefit the entire community for years to come.   Hundreds of volunteers have rolled up their sleeves to move dirt and rocks, assemble bleachers, pour concrete, install electrical and plumbing systems, and paint walls. Much has already been accomplished, yet much more lies ahead.

Ross Turner was named the 2010 Community Service Award Winner for his extensive volunteer work in the community including efforts to renovate the Montrose Stadium.
