Cheerleading, one of the most traditionally-known sports, has been around since the 19th century; and it brings a lot of attention to other traditional sports. While cheerleading is known for its amazing chants and matching school uniforms out on the sidelines or at competitions, the sport takes more effort than anyone could imagine.
Cheerleading is often seen in a shallow light, some seeing it solely as the uniform while others see false glamour in it; but behind the stunts and all the times they show up for games, it takes weeks of practice and strength to pull off what cheerleaders do. Cheerleaders practice for hours, perfecting their routines, bonding with teammates, and staying focused, even when routines get tough.
At George Jenkins High School, the cheerleaders are known for the energy and school spirit they bring at pep rallies and games, earning titles such as 2020 State Champions and 2025 Regional Champions. The cheerleaders at George W. Jenkins worked extremely hard for these titles, and most importantly of all, they deserve it; they all bring the energy, smiles, and school spirit to the sideline and competition mat.
