It is SOC’s greatest desire to help young people with their after-high-school goals, be it college or trade school. Any graduating senior who has participated on the Spirit Team, as a cheerleader, a yell leader, or mascot, is eligible to apply in the high school office.

SOC helps in community events to raise money, applies for various grants, and gratefully appreciates donations to fund as many scholarships as possible.

Congratulations to the 2025 SOC LEADER Scholarship recipients: Alysia and Kassidy!

2025

“I’m proud of who I’ve become through cheer, and I’m excited to apply those lessons as I build a future in the trades. Whether I’m working on a team or giving back to the community, I’ll bring the same dedication, spirit, and drive that cheerleading gave me.” -Kassidy Upchurch

2025

“I will apply the skills and lessons learned from cheer to my everyday life… to help people become the best version of themselves while maintaining patience for their own, and others’, growth. Cheer has taught me that we need to try our best, but just as important, we need to support others while they do the same, as we’re all living this life for the first time.” – Alysia Burdge
