Jayettes won high awards at last year’s competitions.

The Jayettes dance team will host tryouts for the 2017-2018 team. All those interested in trying out for the squad must also attend a mandatory workshop prior to tryouts. Tryouts are for girls entering or attending an all Catholic High School from 8th to 12th grade as well as daughters of former Jayettes.
