"If the focus is on the result...not good.
It has to be in the process.
It has to be on your habits.
If we are not getting better at our fundamentals, if we are not focusing on the process, it's gonna catch us."

You control your effort - not the outcomes.

~Ryan Day

Based off of preliminary survey results there is enough interest to have a basketball cheerleading squad. There will be an information session in the coming weeks. The dates for the meeting will be posted in the newsletter as information becomes available. Those that are interested need to make sure they have a physical uploaded to planetHS. For those that cheered for Riverwalk in the past, please make sure you have turned your uniforms in.

Sports physicals for the 24-25 year must be dated after April 1, 2024. Athletic physicals, as well as other necessary document, must be uploaded into planetHS before students are allowed to participate in athletics.
