Montford Cheerleading

Welcome to the Montford Cheerleading page!
The purpose of the cheerleading team is to encourage school spirit though leadership and a positive attitude. Cheers, jumps, stunts, tumbling, and dance are just a few things we can expect to see from the cheerleaders this upcoming school year. The cheerleaders are thrilled about starting traditions and building school spirit at Montford Middle School.
The Mustang family is looking forward to your support for our athletic teams!
Cheerleading has been moved to Spring 2021.
All potential student athletes are required to have on file a current school year Activity Participation Form (AP Form), a current year (past 365 days) physical signed by a physician, and maintain a 2.0 GPA the previous grading period. Other requirements may vary depending on the sport/activity. All forms can be found in the athletic forms section.
