Dexter, Missouri - High School cheerleading can be a lot of fun, but it can also be very demanding of your time.  Many of the Dexter Cheerleading Squad host a special Bearcat Camp and even attend camps themselves, they attend games, there are special performances at homecoming, pep rallies and many other exciting commitments.

Not only are the simple aspects of high school cheerleading exhilarating, but cheerleaders also find practices to be quite demanding.  Not only do cheerleaders have screaming fans around them at every game, but they have to be on top of their game everywhere they go.  As a cheerleader they become a role model for younger children who aspire to be just like them when they get to high school; therefore cheerleaders must maintain professional manner no matter where they are in the community.

As a Dexter High School Cheerleader, each has a very important job.  They have a tradition to uphold!  There are many alumni and loyal fans in the community who attend, the student body loves being involved in school spirit, and the players are one hundred percent dedicated because they absolutely love the sport they are playing. Cheerleaders are a part of the excitement and and promote school spirit!

We are proud of our Dexter High School Cheerleaders!
