National School Spirit Spotlight: Meet Bishop Amat!

Meet Bishop Amat Memorial High School!

Bishop Amat Memorial High School, located in La Puente, California, may have just around 1,000 students, but they bring game days to life in a big way. With cheer, band, and dance at the heart of their traditions, they create an exciting and energetic atmosphere that unites fans and showcases the true spirit of their school community. This year, all three teams will work together to bring that same game day magic to the National School Spirit Championships. Take a look at the pep squads you'll be seeing in action!



From the Head Coach: The Value of NSSC

Being a part of the National School Spirit Championships is an incredible honor, as it gives us the opportunity to share our school's rich history and traditions. It's especially meaningful to share our original fight song, something that's uniquely ours and represents the heart and history of our school. We are excited to showcase our Amat family and show the unity, energy, and spirit that make our community so special.

-Sabrina Arnthum, Pep Squad Advisor/Head Coach

Bishop Amat's Favorite Game Day Traditions:

Each game, our team—along with the band and dance—walks through the pre-game tailgate together while singing our fight song. It’s a fun way for all of us to show school spirit and bond with one another.

-Brandie Pesqueda, Senior Dancer

My favorite game day tradition is our team dinner before the game, as it gives us a chance to come together and share a moment of calm before the excitement begins.

-Meghan Lam, Senior Dancer

My favorite game day tradition is game day meals with all of my teammates. Being with my team is like being with my family, they make game day more special and exciting.

- Michaela McGee, Senior Cheerleader

What Makes Bishop Amat Special?

Bishop Amat has a special bond with their students and with each other, here we are family and have watched each other grow up. This makes every event that more special because we are all just one big family. The community at this school is something I will never forget.

-Daelynn Martinez, Senior Dancer


Bishop Amat is bringing their cheer, band, and dance squads to the National School Spirit Championships to compete together in the Spirit Program Game Day Live Division. Varsity TV wishes them the best of luck this season!
