Class cheers can help bond a grade level together, increase school spirit and encourage healthy competition between students in different grades. Pep rallies and sporting events are the perfect place for a roll call of the grades in your school.
Freshman Cheers
Freshman year is a time of new beginnings. Because incoming freshman are often picked on by upper classmen as a rite of passage, it is important for the freshman class to bond together as a team. Cheers at pep rallies can help improve the overall spirit of the school and serve to form this bond between students in the freshman class. Here are a couple of cheers to try:
Freshman Dazzle
Razzle, snazzle
Freshman dazzle
Razzle, snazzle
Freshman dazzle
Class Year Cheer
2009 (fill in appropriate graduation year) is our yearFreshman class has nothing to fear
We're the best, we're number one
Help us cheer when our team has won
Sophomore Cheers
By sophomore year, most students have settled into a fairly steady routine of friends, school and work. Most students are driving, involved in at least one activity at school and school spirit is fairly strong. Here are some sophomore class cheers to try during pep rallies:
We are Sophomore
We are sophomore
Watch out for what
We have in store
We are sophomore
Watch out for what
We have in store
We'll kick some butt
And take some names
We've got spunk and
We've got game
Rock the Stands
Hey there, we're in 10Watch out Eagles (opposing team name)
We know how to defend
Our teams the best in the land
And we're going to rock the stands
Junior Cheers
Juniors often help set the tone for the school, just under the seniors. This is the class that will be incoming seniors next year, so it's important that they have lots of school spirit and pep. Here are a couple of cheers to get juniors started:
Junior Jam
We are juniors
We can jam
Our boy (fill in team member's name)
He's the man
Repeat
It stirs
When you hear juniors
Something inside stirs
When you hear J-U-N-I-O-R-S
You know we're the best
Senior Class Cheers
Once senior year arrives, students are typically filled with a ton of school spirit and pep. Senior class cheers take on a new level, exemplifying what the class stands for, memorable sports moments and focus on mascot. Here are a few to get you started, but you'll want to come up with some unique cheers that are just your own and aimed at your school and your own special memories of your time there.
Go, Fight, Win
Seniors, seniors, we're on top
We can't be beat, we won't be stopped
Seniors, seniors, we're number one
Go!
Fight!
Win!
Seniors, seniors, we're number one
Go!
Fight!
Win!
Here Come the Seniors
This cheer can be said as your class walks into the gym:Here come the seniors
We can't be beat
Here come the seniors
Walking down the street
Watch out Haysville (fill in opposing team name)
We here to win
And we can't be tamed
Repeat until you reach your seats and the class is seated
Our Final Year
This is it
Our final year
That's why we're
Going to cheer
Loud and clear
Loud and clear
All Together Now!
One of the best ways to use class cheers is at a pep rally before the big game. The cheerleaders on the floor should call out the class in question, typically starting with the freshman class. The chant might go something like this:
Freshman, freshman are you here?
If you are, let's hear you cheer.
The freshman class would then answer with one of their cheers. The cheerleaders would then call the sophomores, juniors and seniors. A great way to end the pep rally is with a high school cheer that the whole school can get behind.
