SR447: SR447 Cedartown High School Cheerleading Team; congratulate

Last action March 25, 2025 · Senate Read and Adopted

A Senate resolution congratulates the Cedartown High School cheerleading team for winning the 2024 GHSA Division 4A State Cheerleading Championship, its second consecutive title.

In plain language

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate honoring the Cedartown High School cheerleading team. It recognizes the team's 2024 GHSA Division 4A State Cheerleading Championship win, which was the squad's second consecutive state title and its highest score in school history. The resolution names the team's coaches, Head Coach Shaie Dyer and Assistant Coach Shannon Allen, and lists all the team members by grade level. It does not change any Georgia law; it simply expresses the Senate's congratulations and directs the Secretary of the Senate to provide a copy of the resolution to the team for their records.
