My Project

I am a new athletic director and I noticed a lack of school spirit in the student body. I want to help raise the school spirit and improve the atmosphere at my school. Research shows that a higher level of pride in one's school improves academics.

Let's raise the school spirit to the roof and watch the academics soar as well.

With your help, we will be able to create a student-led pep squad and improve the training conditions of the current cheer team. The gym mats will be used along with the octagon to better prepare are cheer team to defend their state title and the megaphone will be used by the pep squad to project their voices during outdoor events.

Thank you for your support and LET'S GO MUSTANGS!
