EHT Cheer has been buzzing with activity lately. The EHTHS Cheerleaders are proud supporters of the HERO Campaign and raised $820 in donations for the annual HERO Walk. It's a great opportunity for the cheerleaders to give back to the EHT community and support such an important program.
Cheer teamed up with Renaissance to deck the halls for spirit week. The streamers and window messages livened up the school ahead of the fall pep rally.
Speaking of pep rally, did you see our amazing competition performance? Cheer was happy to also share the mat with the football team and show them how we prepare for game day and brought the school a fun display of stunting and tumbling.
On Friday, October 25th, EHTHS Cheer was thrilled to celebrate 12 amazing seniors for their dedication to the program. Senior night was a special moment to reflect on all that these athletes have given to the program.
Finally, both Varsity and JV cheer teams brought home 1st place wins at the Holy Spirit Blue & Gold Cheerleading Competition. Couldn't be prouder of the team performances.
