High Twelve is an organization of Master Masons that support Masonic causes with special emphasis on youth support and patriotic events. There are over 5,000 members in over 170 clubs nationwide and in foreign countries. High Twelve is dedicated to the unification of Master Masons, independent of the formal ritual of Lodge, but dedicated to service to the fraternity. Just a few of our accomplishments have been developing long-lasting friendships, encouraging and supporting our public school systems and participating in constructive community activities, and preserving the principles of good government based on the rights of the individual.
Although only Master Masons can join High Twelve, anyone is welcome at the meetings. A typical meeting is brief in its business, full of fellowship, and includes a program usually a speaker, on a limitless range of subjects. High Twelve, which is a social extension of the Masonic experience, is so named because long ago, noon was known as “high twelve” and the time to call off from labor for refreshment. Accordingly, many High Twelve clubs – but not all – meet at noon. There is no ritual, but it strongly encourages its members to be active in their lodges and their communities.
High Twelve International affords valuable assistance to the Blue Lodges in whatever manner it is most needed. High Twelve International is Masonry in Action in the community where each Club holds its meetings and in the State where the several clubs are banded together for a common purpose. High Twelvians adhere strictly to the Masonic Law of that jurisdiction. We combine fellowship with helping others in their quality-of-life pursuits, particularly young adults and youth. The club’s two philanthropic objectives are youth and education, strongly supporting the Order of DeMolay, Rainbow Girls, Job’s Daughters, and the Wolcott Foundation which was established to provide scholarships for students at George Washington University who seek public service careers in government.
