Cheering for fall and winter sports helps boost school spirit and develops leadership and communication skills, strength and agility.

Cheerleaders also help promote spirit by attending rallies, making locker tags, painting posters, holding fundraisers, participating in some community events and possibly competing in various competitions. This activity is physically and emotionally demanding as well as very time consuming, but cheerleading is also fun. The cheerleading philosophy at Chico High has these objectives: 1. To lead cheers and to raise the fan support level for interscholastic athletics; 2. To participate in the activity known as cheerleading by performing gymnastics, partner stunts, motions pyramids and dance movements; and 3.

Tryouts are announced each spring in the Daily Bulletin. | | Rotary Interact | Interact is a Rotary-sponsored service club for secondary students.
