Half Moon Bay High Community Cougar

In 2008, we are started a new Cougar Football tradition called the “Community Cougar”. Each game week our players will get together and choose a person (teacher, administrator, parent or anyone in the community) that has helped support them in some way; be it academically, athletically, emotionally, etc.
 
That week, the Community Cougar is invited to any practice/meeting/ “behind the scenes look” they would like to attend. They would be guest of honor at our team dinner Thursday night and then invited down to our sideline during the game. We'll also give them a long sleeve black shirt with "Community Cougar" on the back to wear at the games.
 
This is our way to recognize a few of the many people that support and encourage our kids.
