Kenowa Hills Pom / Dance has a wonderful & exciting history.  Please take a moment to see how the program has grown from a club in 1975 to what it is today. 

Please contact Coach Dougherty at coachdougherty@kenowahillsdance.com if you have any information to help fill in any missing history of the Kenowa Hills Pom / Dance Teams. 
I will be happy to add your information.
