Candidate must have a 3.0 GPA on their current 3^rd term report card and no F's or U's. They must maintain a 3.0 GPA each term thereafter to remain on the squad.  A GPA of less than 3.0 will put the student on probation until the next grading period.  A student can only have (1) probationary period while being a cheerleader.  

Candidate may have one 'N' to tryout but will be on a 30-day probation period effective the next day.  A student cannot have a 'U' or 2 'Ns' at any time to try out for or be a cheerleader.  A second 'N', safe school violation, pattern of school policy violations, or an administrative 'U' will result in immediate removal from the squad.

A huge thank you to the following sponsors!  Because of them, we were able to purchase much needed cheer mats and conditioning equipment.  With the excess funds, we plan to give back to our community through acts of service.
