Dance Team
The Mira Loma Dance Team/Company was established in 2002 when it started out as a group of just seven girls performing at half-time and in local competitions. Since then the team has grown into a full-fledged Co-Ed team with around thirty dancers each year! We now go to several competitions in the Sacramento and Bay Area, including the USA Nationals in Anaheim, CA. This year we are excited to announce that we are competing in Dance Drill, Small Military, All-Male, Hip-Hop, Co-Ed, and Character- we compete later in the year but as soon as seasons come up we will be posting our performances on Facebook and possibly the Mira Loma Newsletter so watch out for our football, basketball, and competition performance schedules(during their respective seasons)!
If you want to stay up to date with the latest information on the dance team or to hear ASAP about our competitions, placements, events, and fundraisers- like and follow us on Instagram and Facebook, @miralomadancers on Instagram, and click here for our Facebook page!

Speech & Debate
Welcome to the Mira Loma Speech and Debate Team
We are proud to be a nationally ranked team that is open to all students at Mira Loma!
We are excited to announce that the MLHS SD Team will be able to have a complete and expansive competitive season! If you would like to see what Speech and Debate can do for you, come to our Start-of-the-Season meeting Monday August 22nd (for returning members) and August 29th for new members! If you would like to attend our meeting email us at miralomasd@gmail.com or come by room A202 and talk with Mr. Stinson.
The MLHS Speech and Debate Team meets every Monday in room F-3 from 3:45- 5:15pm!
There is not a team at Mira Loma High School that does more for the mental, emotional, and social health of its students than the MLHS Speech and Debate Team. While we are frequently told that we live in a golden age of information and communication, not everyone is born as an effective communicator. Great students need to be able to think in a manner that pushes them to convey complex thoughts and speak with purpose and control. It is these very skills that Speech and Debate aim to develop, in order to foster not only presentation skills but also analytical skills that improve their confidence in and out of the classroom.
While many students may use their Speech and Debate experience in the fields with which it is most directly associated - law, drama, politics – many more will instead find careers in science, medicine, or engineering. Among the most powerful benefits of participating in Speech and Debate is that no matter which field a student may ultimately specialize in, the events they participate in will develop confidence, reasoning, and poise. Our team encourages all students on campus to come together. We have a well-developed student leadership team that helps to grow each other's skills and encourages individual success. The team (annually over a hundred active members) is made up of a team of captains to help all students be seen, feel personal development is taking place and that their contributions matter.
We are the most active team in the Capital Valley Forensics League. We attend more tournaments, invitationals, and national competitions than anyone else giving our team the largest number of opportunities to compete and work with the busy I.B. schedule that many of our students have. Last season was a remarkable one for the Mira Loma Speech and Debate team we've had students qualify for States, Nationals, NCFL, and TOC tournaments. This year, we hope to build on that success – not just in hopes of amassing trophies at competitions, but in developing communication skills that will serve students and their communities long after they graduate from Mira Loma.
We welcome all students with any or no experience to join our team. We would encourage you to visit our team website by clicking here!
We hope to see you on the team!

Sports-a-Rama
What is Sports-a-rama? Ask any ML Alum after 1984 about Sports-A-Rama and you will get stories! It is an athletic, artistic, performance and multi-class competition that all Mira Loma students are invited to participate in or attend every spring!
Sports-A-Rama La Sierra High School, the brainchild of Doug Woodard, the activities director at La Sierra High School. Some of the activities that he saw working as a director e inspired him to come up with a much bigger idea: to create an event that would increase school spirit by involving all 4 classes competing in a dozen or more activities. Then in 1983, La Sierra was closed. The La Sierra HS juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen brought this low-key S-A-R idea with them when they transferred to Mira Loma and ML improved it by adding Penny Wars, a class T-shirt Art Competition, and by including any & all interested students from each class as participants in at least one event or more. Now it is common to see a sea students from each year’s class compete in a variety of events against each other. What about those students who don’t participate? They become the roaring masses of spectators who are joined by Alumni the parents & staff who fill the gym to capacity. Sports-A-Rama is Mira Loma’s highest attended and most anticipated event of the school year.
