After a one year hiatus over 20 girls have tried out and 15 have been selected to be members of the 2016 Strath Haven High School Cheerleader Squad. In addition to a new squad there is a new coach as well.

We had the pleasure of spending a little time with new cheerleader coach, Heather Burns, as she was preparing her Strath Haven Middle School math classroom. This is her third year at Strath Haven Middle School.

Coach Burns has 13 years of experience in cheerleading coaching with 10 years of experience with the local Rose Tree Colts. She also coached cheerleading at Penncrest  and Marple Newtown high schools.

Two high school seniors came to Coach Burns in June and asked if she would be willing to coach a new cheerleading squad. She told them she was willing but the girls had to go out and recruit at least 15-20 students who were willing to become cheerleaders. The girls did exactly that and try-outs were held over the summer.
