Cheerleading emphasizes support of school activities; teaches responsibility, leadership, spirit and commitment; and helps to develop creativity and confidence. There are three squads—varsity , junior varsity, and freshmen. Varsity is open to sophomore, junior and senior girls. Junior varsity is open to freshman, sophomore, and junior girls. Only freshman girls can be on the freshmen squad. The School Mascot is also a part of the cheerleading squad. This position is open to seniors only. Students are selected through tryouts in the spring.
