The 2026 San Jacinto Intermediate Cheerleading Invitational on April 11, 2026, is an event geared towards giving Elementary through High School cheer teams a place to showcase their talents and compete against other school teams across multiple districts in a fun and competitive environment. The event is meant to be affordable for both teams and spectators since, oftentimes, these events are cost prohibitive and school teams do not get the opportunities to compete.
Questions can be directed to the event director, Mallory Barnhart through email: mbarnhart@pasadenaisd.org
