Cheerleaders

Picture
Cheerleading is defined as “a sport involving the performance of organized cheering, chanting and dancing in support of a sports team at games." It is performed to motivate the team, to entertain the spectators or, in AHSS’s case, both!

Although seldom given much credit for the success of the other school teams, the cheerleaders were always a valuable asset both to the teams and to the school spirit.

Unlike the other school sports, the AHSS Cheerleading teams were comprises of girls from grades 9 to 13. The cheers and routines were passed down from one year to the next. It was mainly 'self-coached' but over the years there was some management of the team provided by Mrs. Linda Grawbarger and Mrs. Linda Piggott.

The Cheerleaders were always present at home games and they also made some trips to other schools.  Interestingly, most of the road trips were made to support the guys’ teams!
​
Three cheers for the Cheerleaders!!!
