Cheer

Cheer: The Saints program focuses on setting the foundation of cheerleading through drills, skills, choreography, motions, tumbling, prep level stunting and more! Our goal is to guide our Saints to be the best cheerleaders and teammates they can be!  Our athletes proudly serve the SMSH community by being kind, respectful, safe and prepared.

If your Saint is interested in cheer, dance, teamwork, and school spirit, we would love for you to join our squad! All levels of skill and experience are welcome with no previous cheer experience required to participate.

Our Game Team (grades 2-5) will practice once per week to prepare sideline cheers and a halftime routine for our Saints Boys Basketball Games.

Our Competition Team (grades 6-8) will practice twice per week to prepare for games as well as learn choreography to perform at a school assembly, the St. Cecilia’s Cheerleading Showcase and more!
