Cheerleading

Take school spirit to new heights! STM Cheerleading welcomes grades 3–8 across three squads — no tryouts required — bringing energy to football and basketball games and rallying the whole school together.

Overview

What cheerleading means at STM

Take school spirit to new heights as part of the STM cheerleading squad. We field three squads — grades 3–4, 5–6, and 7–8 — and tryouts are never required. Squads cheer at home and away football games, with our older cheerleaders also supporting home basketball games. The 7th–8th squad adds summer camp, parades, assemblies, and pep rallies throughout the year.
