Our History

We Are The Locker - Kids Helping Kids

In 2008, Karen Crosby met with a group of Georgetown High School athletes that had a desire to serve others. They wanted to be more than just athletes; they wanted to give back to their community. After meaningful discussions, thoughtful planning, and determining a set of goals…The Locker was established.

In the beginning, it was called Eagle Locker and consisted of two shelves stocked with toiletries and school supplies. In a few short years this humble, thoughtful Service Learning organization grew into a relevant and vital part of the Georgetown, Tx community.

With the addition of a second high school in town, the name was changed to The Locker. East View High School opened their doors with The Locker as part of their inaugural traditions.

The Locker experienced rapid growth. In 2013, the first Board of Directors was appointed. In 2014, The Locker became a 501(c)3 non-profit foundation.

The Locker has become a part of the fabric of Georgetown, Tx. It is an integral part of the schools and community.

The Locker has expanded to other schools across the state of Texas. These new chapters are making a difference to their students and communities. Each of these programs are coordinated through The Locker Foundation.
