The McNicholas Milestone

By Ava Wille

McNicholas High School has many traditions, and one that is popular with students includes the cheers at football and basketball games. After the kick-off of the first home football game of 2024, upperclassmen could tell underclassmen did not know many of the cheers. To help all students, The McNicholas Milestone decided to make sure new students and freshman know all the words to all the cheers. So, if you need to, pull out your phone at the next football game and cheer along!
