 FISD CHEERLEADING
PURPOSE & VISION
Frisco ISD cheerleaders, mascots, and dance/drill team
members are leaders chosen to represent the campus, district,
and community in the promotion of team spirit, development of
strong character and sportsmanship, and reinforcement of
respect and positive relations within our community. The young
men and women involved in these extracurricular activities
consistently demonstrate tenacity, teamwork, and
commitment. In addition, they continually develop
responsibility, pride, loyalty, leadership, service, self-discipline,
and self-confidence. As leaders, students are encouraged to
achieve personal goals in regards to their athletic abilities and
their social and emotional development.
 FISD CHEERLEADING
PHILOSOPHY OF PARTICIPATION

Participation in the regular curriculum is a right afforded to

each student, while participation in the extracurricular program
is a privilege that carries additional expectations for acceptable
conduct. While students engage in, perform, compete, or
participate in extracurricular activities they represent
themselves, their student body, and the school district,
whether in our out of uniform.
Since participation in extracurricular activities is a privilege and
not a right, Frisco ISD is authorized to set higher standards for
these participants than it would for those students who choose
not to participate in these activities.
 PURPOSE OF FHS CHEER

The mission of Frisco High is to live the

Frisco spirit. The mission of Frisco
Cheer is to build a foundation of spirit,
respect, community, and inclusion to
facilitate a positive environment
conducive to the growth of Frisco
spirit.
