From Idea to Reality: The Astros’ Closet Is Officially Open!

November 14th, 2025


Back in fall 2022, members of the Key Club and the Curriculum Instruction and Assessment (CIA) Teacher Sub-Committee came together with a shared goal: to create an on-campus shop providing free resources for Pinkerton families. Clothing, shoes, formal attire, accessories, and hygiene products were all donated by members of the local community in support of this effort. Students from various clubs and classes, along with teachers, alumni, and local businesses, contributed their time, energy, and resources to help bring this idea to life.

Located in the former girls’ PE locker room, the Astros’ Closet was transformed through months of cleaning, painting, crafting, and organizing. The space now includes shelves, racks, mirrors, and changing rooms. The Astros’ Closet is currently accepting donations of clean or gently used winter gear, including teen-friendly coats, hats, leggings, and gloves.

Whether someone is in need of everyday items, a new outfit, or clothing for a class requirement or special event, the Astros’ Closet offers resources for everyone!

We sincerely appreciate everyone who helped make this project possible. Learn more about the process behind Astros’ Closet below.
