SR21: SR21 Bremen High School Competition Cheerleading Team; congratulate

Last action January 17, 2025 · Senate Read and Adopted

A Georgia Senate resolution formally congratulates the Bremen High School competition cheerleading team for winning the 2024 1A-D1 Cheerleading State Championship.

In plain language

This resolution is a ceremonial honor from the Georgia Senate rather than a change to state law. It recognizes the Bremen High School competition cheerleading team for winning the 2024 1A-D1 Cheerleading State Championship, crediting the team's performance, teamwork, and the coaching of Jessica Patterson and Taylor Griffin. The resolution names each member of the championship team and directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the team. It does not create any new requirements, funding, or legal changes; it simply records the Senate's congratulations and best wishes for the team's continued success.

Who it affects

Why it matters

The resolution carries symbolic rather than legal weight. It gives the team and school official recognition from the Georgia Senate and creates a lasting written record of their 2024 state championship, but it does not change any Georgia law or provide funding.

  • The resolved clause has the Senate formally congratulate the team and wish them continued success.
