Cheer

About the Program

North High School is proud to offer cheerleading. The Iowa Cheerleading Coaches’ Association sanctions cheer competitions and events throughout the state of Iowa. Through involvement in athletics, students learn valuable life skills, including teamwork, leadership, and commitment.

North High cheerleaders: 

  • Support our school by cheering at football and basketball games; 

  • Support our community by hosting cheer camps for children; 

  • Promote healthy competition by competing at cheer competitions; 

  • Exhibit financial responsibility by participating in fundraisers; and 

  • Promote a team environment through team building activities and positive communication. 

Each year North High students are welcome to try out for the cheer team. Tryouts are held during the spring for the following school year.

Giving Back

Each year, the North High cheer team hosts a Mini Cheer Camp for students enrolled at Bryant, Hunt A+ Arts, Irving Dual Language, Leeds, and Perry Creek in grade K-5. The mini campers perform cheers and stunts with the cheerleaders at the Homecoming football game. 

Fundraising

To help cover gear/equipment and competition costs, we partner with local Northside businesses to sponsor our program. We also do a car wash and sell cookie dough.
