UHS Cheerleading
Through Teamwork, Responsibility, Hard Work, Sportsmanship and Friendship the focus for UHS Cheer is to build Trust, Confidence and Pride in ourselves, school and community while encouraging the personal best for every member of our team.
PHILOSOPHIES:
The purpose of UHS Cheer is to support all UHS activities, attract positive attention, encourage crowd participation and be positive role models.
The intent of the Cheer Coach is to assist all squad members in achieving their goals, both academic and physical, as well as assist them in gaining life skills.
The reward for participating in UHS Cheer will be many close friendships, travel opportunities and positive memories of the UHS experience. Hard work reaps the satisfaction of accomplishment and a busy schedule cultivates the skill of organization, time-management, and stress management.
