Why do we have a Code of Conduct?

As cheerleaders, you are recognizable in AND out of your uniforms. Students, administrators, parents, and coaches will form opinions based on how they perceive you. If you post questionable photos on Facebook, for instance, it not only makes you look like you don't respect yourself, but it reflects poorly on the entire team.

Failure to adhere to the Code of Conduct may result in dismissal from the team. Please know that we will enforce these expectations at all times.
