Middle School Cheerleading
There
are cheerleaders for each grade in the
middle school and grade 5. They all cheer
for the boys basketball teams. Additionally,
there is a middle school competition squad
that consists of 8th grade cheerleaders and
sometimes 7th grade is permitted to tryout
if more girls are needed; there are formal
tryouts in this case.
High
School Cheerleading
There
is a JV and Varsity squad. Formal tryouts
are held in April/May in front of a panel of
qualified judges.
JV Cheerleaders cheer for boys and girls
basketball games and they participate in a
summer exhibition. They do not compete at
the junior varsity level, but are taught
everything they need to know to prepare them
for competitive cheerleading.
Varsity
Cheerleaders cheer for boys and
girls basketball games, and also
compete. They attend cheerleading camp
hosted by the National Cheerleaders
Association in the summer and attend
competitions from December to March.
