Our program consists of Varsity and Junior Varsity Sideline squads and a Varsity Competition squad. Anyone on the Varsity Competition squad must also cheer on the Varsity Sideline squad in the fall season. Sideline squads cheer at football games during the fall season and at boys and girls basketball games during the winter season. The competition squad participates in 3-5 competitions from August-February including but not limited to the IN State Fair competition, Mid-State Conference competition, IN Cheer Championship, and potentially UCA High School Cheerleading Nationals.
Coach Ally is entering her third year with the MHS cheer program and her first as the head competition coach. She graduated from MHS in 2021 and cheered on the Pioneers at the varsity level for four years and, as a senior, was the first athlete in program history to be selected as an Indiana All-State cheerleader. Coach Ally is a sixth grade social studies teacher and studied studying elementary education at Indiana University Indianapolis where she cheered on the Jaguars for one year. During that year, she was able to travel to Oklahoma City and cheer on the women's basketball team during March Madness.
Coach Ally's favorite part about coaching is creating genuine connections with the cheerleaders and being a positive role model. Her goal is to help young athletes further their athletic careers in cheerleading. Outside of coaching, Coach Ally enjoys working with her students at Charles Fairbanks Elementary and loves to travel.
