Cheerleading clinics begin on Monday, May 1. Students should plan to attend as many of the clinics as possible that do not interfere with previous commitments. Clinics for all returning cheerleaders and new recruits, including rising ninth-graders, are on Monday through Thursday, May 1 through 4, from 3:30 until 5 p.m. Tryouts for all returning cheerleaders and new recruits will be held during exam week on Tuesday, May 9, from 2 until 4 p.m. Rising ninth-graders who want to try out should join tryouts after school that day. Another tryout day will be held in August for additional recruits. Please contact Mrs. Ginny Richmond with any questions.
To participate in sports or cheerleading, a student must meet academic and behavioral expectations, with at least a 2.0 GPA on the unweighted scale (high school) or at least a C average (middle school) from the previous grading period as well as an acceptable discipline record.
In addition, a completed Athletic Participation Form for the 2017-2018 school year must be submitted to the middle or high school office before tryouts begin. (For spring cheerleading clinics, a 2016-2017 athletic participation form is required.) Please note that athletes without completed forms will not be permitted to try out or practice. The form is available on the Docs page.
There is a $110 sports participation fee per sport for any student selected to be on an interscholastic sports or cheerleading team. The fee will be added to the student’s school bill once the season begins.
