Cheerleading is currently not considered a "sport" within the Minneapolis Public School district and while the SWHS Lakers cheer program receives a small amount of funding from the Southwest High School Athletic Department/MPS district and the Southwest Foundation, the majority of the costs land on our families and business sponsors in order to keep our growing program maintained.
