I am so proud of this team in how they competed and represented King’s High School throughout. It was humbling to feel the support of families that came to support our team. This has truly been an unforgettable experience for our team.”

"It has been amazing to watch Cheer elevate to an elite competitive team. Coach Sturm continues to raise expectations to meet the level of athletes that participate in cheer and hope to qualify for State year after year. This group of athletes are some of the best in the school!" exclaimed Joann Fukuma, the athletic director at Shorewood.

The Shorewood Cheer coach, Brianne Sturm, has been phenomenal in giving the cheerleaders the skills and confidence to “BELIEVE” in themselves and remember that “WE CAN DO IT!” 

There have been many challenges along the way, yet these girls have shown perseverance, hard work, and grace in the process.

Equally important, these Shorewood cheerleaders have excelled in the classroom and have shown deep dedication to service to the community, including, the Great Strides Breast Cancer walk, Syre Carnival and Elementary Cheer Day Camp with over 285 participants.

“Shorewood cheer has a history of creating strong, confident athletes who positively impact the communities they are a part of. They provide a great representation of Shorewood around the state,” shared senior Amelia Uran, one of the captains of the SW Squad.
