Hello and welcome to the Southside High cheer squad!

Words from our 2021-2022 captain, K. Champagne:

"Being on the Southside cheer team is more than just cheering for games and pep rallies. While these are very fun and important parts of the team, most importantly the cheer team is a family. High school can be intimidating, especially if you are a freshman or the new kid. Being on the cheer team gives you a sense of belonging and importance. Nothing feels better than cheering on the Sharks on Friday nights or pumping up the students at pep rallies. Being on this team I have learned that I am a part of something bigger than myself, and the lessons and memories I have from the team will stick with me forever!"

Words from our 2020-2021 captain, T. Prather:

"Cheerleading has had my heart since I started in 7th grade! I love working hard to learn new skills and material at practice, I love competing with my team at UCA camps and competitions, and I love being able to cheer on our sharks for Friday night lights. I would recommend everyone to try out for the cheer team because it is truly an experience like no other. My favorite memories of my high school career are all from cheer. The camaraderie of our tight knit team is so special and we always have so much fun with everything we do. To me, being a cheerleader means being a good representation of integrity and school spirit. No matter what anyone tries to tell you, cheerleading IS a sport, and being a cheerleader means that you are a hardworking and dedicated athlete!"
