St. Vincent Pray for us.

St. Vincent Cheerleaders Perform at Warriors Game
Varsity & JV Cheerleaders performed in the half time show at the Warriors Basketball game this past Sunday. They met early Sunday morning at the Oracle Arena learned 2 new routines in a matter of hours and then performed these dances in the half time show later that night.
Thank you to the Cheerleaders for their continuing spirit and representing St. Vincent High School in such a positive, energetic way. What a great memory.
