Cheerleading – JV

Cheerleading at Episcopal builds confident, spirited student-athletes who represent the Eagles with energy, discipline, and pride. The program fields Varsity, Junior Varsity, and Middle School teams, plus squads at the Beaches and St. Mark’s campuses beginning in kindergarten — a pathway that develops cheerleaders from their earliest years through Upper School.

Eagles cheerleaders build skill in stunting, tumbling, and performance while developing the teamwork and leadership the sport demands. As one of the most visible faces of ESJ, the teams are central to school spirit across all three campuses. They also serve as ambassadors to the community, volunteering each year for the Buddy Walk, breast cancer awareness walks, and charity drives including the H.O.O.I. orphanages and the Donna Hicken Foundation.

The program’s competitive tradition includes back-to-back District Championships in 2011 and 2012.
