SR430: SR430 North Forsyth High School Competition Cheerleading Team; congratulate

Last action March 21, 2025 · Senate Read and Adopted

A Georgia Senate resolution congratulates the North Forsyth High School competition cheerleading team for winning the 2024-2025 GHSA Class 6A Competition Cheerleading State Championship.

In plain language

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate rather than a change to state law. It recognizes the North Forsyth High School competition cheerleading team for capturing its second consecutive state cheerleading championship in the GHSA (Georgia High School Association) Class 6A division during the 2024-2025 season. The resolution praises the team's performance, teamwork, and coaching staff, names each team member and coach, and formally congratulates the team on behalf of the Senate. It also directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the team as a keepsake.
