The City of Mequon’s new civic development plan paves the way for exciting local updates, though it means Highlander baseball will be transitioning away from Rennicke Field. Simultaneously, the school’s aging outdoor soccer facilities urgently need modern updates. To address both needs, the Mequon-Thiensville School District (MTSD) is exploring an $8 million philanthropic campaign to construct dedicated baseball and soccer facilities directly on the Homestead High School campus.

Project Highlights

• Bringing baseball and soccer facilities to the high school campus ensures student-athletes have a seamless transition to their new home without disrupting playing seasons or sacrificing home-field advantage.
• A feasibility study conducted by Abundant Philanthropy showed strong community support, with 97% of survey participants identifying a new baseball facility as an urgent priority.
• Guided by the recommendations of the District's 2023 Community Task Force, this project will be 100% privately funded through donations and corporate sponsorships—costing taxpayers nothing extra.
• Ongoing upkeep of the new facilities will be fully absorbed into the District's standard operational budget.

Homestead student-athletes maintain a 3.53 GPA average and have captured 45 team state championships in the school's history. Help us build facilities that match their excellence!
