Elevate Cheer Team 2025
alt_text

As our first cheer season comes to a close, we couldn’t be prouder of the incredible dedication and spirit shown by our Elevate Cheer Team! This was the very first year that Elevate had a cheer program, and this team truly set the standard for excellence, enthusiasm, and teamwork. 

From the very first practice to our final game, the team has shown so much heart, dedication, and teamwork. They’ve spent countless hours learning cheers, perfecting motions, and bringing spirit to our school community, both on and off the sidelines. In this process I have seen an emergence of leadership that makes me so proud as a coach and grateful that I have the opportunity to work with such an amazing group of young people. 

Beyond the cheers, this season has been about connection and community, one of Elevate’s core values. Over the past couple of months, the team has built strong bonds, shared laughter, and supported one another every step of the way. Watching their growth and the pride they’ve brought to Elevate has been something truly special to see.

We are so grateful to our supporters, families, for cheering us on every step of the way. We’re so proud of everything this group of girls has accomplished in this first season and can’t wait to see how the program continues to grow in the years ahead. Go Eagles!

TOY DRIVE SUCCESS!

alt_text

I’d like to highlight the generosity of the Elevate Community! Together, we were able to collect nearly 200 gifts during our Winter Toy Drive!

Our donations were collected and distributed by the Support the Enlisted Project, which supports local military families who are in need. 

Thanks to all who helped spread the word of this event, those who were able to donate, and to the Student Lighthouse Team for promoting the event.

I’m truly impressed at what a meaningful and powerful impact our school was able to have on our community!

SM Dean of Students
