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.
 

Cheerleading Tryouts for the 2023-24 school year will be held March 2, 2024. (Clinics: Feb. 27 - March 1)

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.
