Hillcrest Cheerleaders 2025-2026!

Hillcrest High School, a Title 1 school in Dallas ISD, faces significant funding challenges. Although cheerleading was officially recognized as a sport by the International Olympic Committee in 2021, our cheer team receives far less financial support compared to other athletic programs. 

Cheerleading is costly, with expenses for custom uniforms, competition fees, and cheer camp. This financial gap makes it difficult for our dedicated Panther cheerleaders to compete with wealthier districts, despite their commitment and passion.

Our cheerleaders are more than athletes; they are leaders who promote self-confidence, sportsmanship, and community spirit. They uphold the rich tradition and pride of Hillcrest High School, and your support is crucial for their success. 

They have already achieved success this school year! Recently at NCA Cheer Camp, our Varsity got Top Team Cheer award and the Hillcrest program received the Herkie award which is where all the schools vote on a team who exemplified spirit, leadership and teamwork!

By donating, you will help fund their participation in important competitions and cheer camp, ensuring they have the resources needed to excel. Every donation, big or small, makes a significant impact.

Dallas is the hub of the one billion-dollar cheerleading industry as the home of 15 of the biggest competitions in the world including the National Cheerleader’s Association’s All-Star National Championship.  

Don't leave our cheerleaders, mascot and team managers sitting on the sidelines due to funding.  Please help our Panther cheerleaders reach their goals and continue their legacy of excellence. Your support is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
