REPEAT Reminders & Information

• Student Section Expectations at events

  - We absolutely love seeing our student section loud, cheering, and energetic! The high school administrative team has repeatedly encouraged our students to cheer positively for our athletes. However, we do not support targeting or singling out student-athletes on the competing teams or referees. Our student-athletes have put in so much time preparing for these games, and they need our support! The best way to support our athletes is through positive cheering for our team. Thanks for your help!
