If you’re into a sport, we have a team for you to cheer. And, we do expect you to cheer. We play to compete, but these teams are as focused in the classroom and in the community as on their sports, sponsoring a kids carnival and camps, supporting breast cancer awareness, and hosting the community at many pre-game activities including the Redhawks Walk before all home football games.
