Middle School Cheerleading

Cheerleading, offered at each of our MISD middle school and high school campuses, is an activity designed to develop a sense of good sportsmanship among students and to promote positive school spirit within the student body.
 

The Cheer/Mascot Constitution

The middle school cheer program, governed by the district's cheer and mascot constitution, begins with a series of orientation meetings followed by the submission of required documentation at the district and campus level by noted deadlines. Review the Mansfield ISD cheer/mascot constitution.

Parent Meetings / Clinics & Tryouts
