Welcome to Pine Tree Cheer
|
Cheerleaders exist to promote SCHOOL SPIRIT and good sportsmanship. They are among the most recognized representatives of PTHS. Members of our squad have a fundamental responsibility to play a leadership role in building teamwork and helping the school achieve its goals and objectives. Because of these responsibilities, members of the cheerleading squad will be expected to maintain a higher standard of behavior than that of their peers, both on and off campus. Their academic achievement must meet passing expectations regardless of their demanding extracurricular schedule Tryouts are traditionally held on the Friday before Spring Break. Cheerleaders do not have an “off season” and are committed for an entire year from March to March.

Junior High Cheer
|
Pine Tree Junior High cheerleaders are representatives of the school to promote a wholesome school spirit, good sportsmanship, and good citizenship. Members of PTJH Cheer play a leadership role in building teamwork and helping the school achieve its goals and objectives. Because of these responsibilities, members of the cheerleading squad are expected to maintain a higher standard of behavior, both on and off campus, (including social media) as well as maintain a high level of academic achievement. Tryouts are held in the month of March, before Spring Break. Details about tryouts and cheerleading expectations will be posted here, in campus offices, and in video announcements on the Junior High and Middle School campus websites.
PTJH Cheer captains go through a rigorous tryout process, including creating a detailed portfolio and fielding questions from a panel of judges made up of the campus principal, the cheer sponsor, and a classroom teacher. They are also judged on many other qualities such as leadership skills, ability, responsibility, time to devote to the program, and experience. Captains must have good leadership qualities, high academic performance, and a cooperative spirit. The captains must be individuals who will try to unite the members into a working team and who will be able to work well with other team members, faculty, and other students. The captains are responsible for working with the sponsors on practice organization, plans for activities, and creating pep rally themes. The captains are held to a very high standard, and are required to devote a great deal of time to the squad. |
