Activities

The cheerleaders are responsible for promoting school spirit. They cheer at school football, basketball, soccer, and hockey games, and at wrestling matches.

Tryouts are held during the fall. Girls are rated on the basis of attendance, neatness, cooperation, dependability, school spirit, and conduct.

Following practices and instruction periods, girls are chosen based upon overall cheering ability, voice, enthusiasm, knowledge of cheers, coordination with the group, and jumps.
