Cheerleaders Athletics - Cheerleading Photo by Montgomery Journal Newspaper Welcome to the cheerleading page. The cheerleading programs in MCPS are an integral part of each school's athletic program. The primary purpose of cheerleading squads is to promote and reinforce school spirit at athletic contests. Each of the 23 high schools in MCPS fields a varsity cheerleading squad and most have junior varsity squads.
All squads cheer equitably for both boys' and girls' athletic contests.
The MCPS Cheerleading Competition will be on November 29 and December 1, 2001. Details about this competition will be forwarded to schools. Entry deadline is September 21, 2001. Only schools that participate in the MCPS competition may compete in the University of Maryland Cheerleading Competition held in January.
