Rangerettes

Currently there are 61 dancers and 5 managers in the 2010-11 Rangerettes.  The benefits of being a Rangerette is that the girls learn discipline, dedication, and pride/confidence through the art of dance.  They learn the value of hard work and perseverance.  Also, it goes without saying that Rangerettes exercise a lot, and therefore, they are strong and flexible. 

The following are the major awards and accolades obtained by the Rangerettes and officers:  

The varsity Rangerettes are the highest scoring team in the district among all schools (not just high schools), and the Rangerette Officers are the highest scoring officer line in the district.  The Rangerettes have been hip hop and jazz champions for numerous years in a row.  Other awards have included:  Outstanding Choreography, Outstanding Technique, Outstanding Showmanship, Outstanding Presentation, Judges Award Officer Novelty, Judges Award Team Hip Hop, Staff Award for Discipline, Staff Award for Spirit, Staff Award for Attitude.  Numerous solo finalists have also been from Rangerettes. 

The competitions that the Rangerettes participate in each year vary from year to year. 
Up to 4 seniors may receive a scholarship from the Rangerette Boosters. 
What are the Rangerettes responsibilities? To know all choreography, and be able to execute all choreography.  Arrive to practice and events on time and be ready to work and focus.
