San Marcos High School Cheer Coaches

Heather Gasso
Head Coach

Coach Heather’s love for cheer began at a young age as a gymnast at SCEGA in Temecula California. She began her career in cheer as a Pop Warner cheerleader and this passion carried on to Murrieta Valley High School.

After high school Coach Heather continued cheering at the collegiate level for The University of Oklahoma’s all-girl team and later at Palomar College. She worked for JAMZ in college instructing at summer camps and competitions.

Heather returned to San Diego and began working as a Behavioral Therapist in the Carlsbad School District. She advised and coached the Carlsbad High School cheer team and realized her true passion for coaching and working with young adult athletes.

Coach Heather is currently working as a Corporate Event Planner and is very excited for a fun and dynamic season with SMHS cheer.
