Season:
August 2009 - April 2010
Cheerleading Season is from August 2009 until April 2010. It is a time consuming activity and it is the responsibility of each cheerleader to be present at each activity. Before scheduling outside of school activities such as dance/gymnastics or other sports, a cheerleader must carefully evaluate the time demands of schoolwork and cheerleading. Dupont Hadley students are able to participate in school sponsored programs and be a cheerleader. However, academics do come first as a student/athlete. Please assess the time commitments of all school and social activities to be sure the student can fulfill each duty to the best of her abilities.

Ultimately parents are responsible for the cost associated with cheerleading.
