Cheer Teams

Saint Mary's Cheer Teams are made up of talented and dedicated athletes, who promote school spirit through sideline cheers, stunting, and performance routines. SM Cheerleaders cheer for Football (August-December) and Men and Women's Basketball (December-March.) Other events included community service opportunities and school rallies. 


Cheerleading is a class for P.E. credit. Cheerleaders learn the fundamentals of cheerleading, choreography, and stunting. Cheerleaders are also given opportunities to enhance leadership skills, promote school spirit, and choreograph cheer and stunt routines. Tryouts are held during the spring semester prior to enrollment. It is mandatory for each student who makes the team to attend summer practices and cheer camp during the month of July. Both parent and student will sign a contract stating that the student will attend all outside class time practices and performances and abide by all the rules. If a student is academically ineligible, he/she may be dropped from the class. This course does not meet the Visual Performing Arts requirement.
