Program Mission

The mission of Tides Cheer is to uphold the integrity, pride, and spirit of our program by representing our school with excellence at all games, performances, and events. We strive to set an example of respect, sportsmanship, and good behavior, fostering lifelong values and meaningful relationships. Through dedication, teamwork, and a commitment to personal and athletic growth, we empower our cheerleaders to become leaders, ambassadors for the school community, and role models both on and off the field.

Program Vision

The vision of the Gig Harbor High School cheer program is to create a community of confident, skilled, and compassionate student-athletes who excel in athletics, leadership, and personal development. We strive to build a program that empowers members to grow not just as cheerleaders but as individuals who inspire pride, respect, and unity within our school and beyond. By embodying integrity, teamwork, and dedication, we cultivate future leaders who will positively influence their peers and represent our school with pride.

Educational Value for Cheerleaders

Tides Cheer provides opportunities for personal growth, leadership, and participation in a variety of activities. A team member's attitude, dedication, and enthusiasm are just as important as their skills. Both the GHHS cheer squad and its coaches are committed to the highest standards of athleticism, performance, self-discipline, respect, and personal conduct - all in pursuit of school spirit and pride.
