Practices will start after football season and continue during basketball season. Stunt games are scheduled from March through May.

PE credit: Active participation on the cheer or pom team meets criteria to fulfill 1 year of PE. There is a fitness test scheduled in May that is mandatory to fulfill this requirement. 2 years of high school physical education is a graduation requirement.

Academic Eligibility: In order to participate, each student involved in extracurricular and/or co-curricular programs must be in good standing with attendance and discipline records (as determined by the Assistant Principal and/or Eligibility List).

Students must also be academically eligible with a 2.0 or "C" on a 4.0 scale and not have more than one "F" on the previous 10/20 week report card period. Only one of the subjects can be P.E., and student aide classes do not count. Grades are checked each ten week grading period, and any student who does not meet the criteria is declared ineligible until the next grading period.

Being on time is essential for creating a team bond and setting a good example for everyone. We should all strive to be punctual and respectful of one another's time. Let's work together to ensure we're all doing our part to make this team a success!
