ABOUT SMCT
The primary purpose of the San Marcos Cheer program is to generate spirit, pride, and leadership skills through support, performance, and personal conduct.
We are a competitive program participating in several competitions throughout the school year. We're proud of the success we have achieved and will continue to strive for excellence.
We believe that instilling values of perseverance, hard work, cooperation, encouragement of others and most of all teamwork, leads to a successful competition experience. The Cheer teams require a lot of time, effort and dedication. It is a privilege to be on this team and is based on, not only skill, but on dedication commitment and team spirit.
SMHS Cheerleading is a year-round program that focuses on building the character of our athletes on and off the competitive playing field. SM cheer forms a culture and community of sportsmanship, dominance in our sport, and the WE over ME approach to daily practices. We work hard to bring school spirit to every game! Together the Varsity, Junior Varsity and Freshman team cheers on our athletes and represents SMHS at every scheduled meet and game! They are always present at all school rallies and events!
