This site is dedicated to five students that graduated in 1997 from North Meck High School in Spirit only: Laura Barnette, Travis A. Childers, Calvin Keziah, Mandi Meador and Kancham R. Potts.

Angels of ’97 began in 1997 to honor the lives of five students who graduated in spirit only from the North Mecklenburg Class of ’97.  Angels of ’97 has grown in the past years to provide nearly $400,000 to local High School students to assist with higher education.   The organization has expanded over the years to outreach to other families in our community that have suffered the loss of a child or sibling.

Additionally, Angels of ’97 has received 501(c)3 status.
