 * //__Philosophy Statement __//**

The Olympus High School’s Cheerleading Squad philosophy is based on the basic premises of dedication, commitment, teamwork and work ethic. Our program aids in developing the student participant into a responsible, mature and independent adult. Specifically, the program is a means of improving the student/s mental and physical well being. Cheerleading is an activity where the student: (1) will develop the ability to respond to make decisions; (2) will enhance the ability to respond to life’s situations, e.g., conflict, anger and frustration; and (3) will contribute to social development, e.g., development of self-confidence, development of interpersonal relationships.

 * __Mission __**__**Statement **__

The primary purpose of the cheerleader is to be a member of the team, which has at its goal the support of the athletic teams and the school. That support is directed into three major areas, as follows: (1) to raise the level of fan support for the teams in a positive manner during athletic events by cheering and providing entertainment; (2) to develop good sportsmanship and behavior by being an example at all times (whether in uniform or not), emphasizing the ideals of ethical conduct, integrity, accountability, and fair play, showing courtesy at all times to visiting teams, competitors, host and officials; and (3) to support good relations in the community by reflecting and projecting the ideals of Olympus High School during activities, functions and programs, and at charitable and public causes that promote the athletic teams and the school.
