1. Carondelet Cheer Spirit Program Varsity and Junior Varsity
“Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement.”
- Helen Keller

2. Welcome
Spirit Team is devoted to providing an opportunity of involvement during Carondelet sporting games, community service events, as well as De La Salle sporting events. We encourage multi-sport participation among our student athletes and will emphasize working together to better the entire program. Perception is reality! Consciousness of representation in the community is our priority.

3. Team Culture
A Carondelet student athlete is a confident and accomplished young woman who pursues the highest levels of intellectual, personal and athletic achievements. Here at Carondelet Cheer we practice inspiring confidence, encouraging spirit, and supporting kindness not only in our school, teammates and community, but also in ourselves.
A spirit ambassador promotes a welcoming attitude that stems from the soul. An understanding of leadership, hard work, and humility. A selfless heart that is naturally aware of those in need.
“I have a theory that selflessness and bravery aren't all that different.”  ― Veronica Roth

4. Seniors 2017
These ladies here have left quite a legacy to be upheld. Each one of them has grown to empower the Carondelet Mission and Vision.
