House Resolution 332
By: Representatives Horner of the 3rd and Tarvin of the 2nd
A RESOLUTION
Recognizing and commending the Ringgold High School JROTC Tiger Guard drill team; and
for other purposes.
WHEREAS, the Ringgold High School JROTC Tiger Guard drill team has established and
maintained a proud tradition of excellence with equal emphases on character and academics;
and
WHEREAS, despite being the smallest team competing at the National Level, the Ringgold
JROTC Tiger Guard has achieved remarkable success, winning over 50 All Army and
National trophies as well as multiple region and state championships in the past eight years;
and
WHEREAS, the Ringgold JROTC Tiger Guard made history by forming the first all-female
color guard to present colors at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, an accomplishment that garnered
recognition in local and regional news; and
WHEREAS, this all-star team is led by Cadet Drill Team Commander Parell, who has been
a dedicated member of the Tiger Guard since the seventh grade and competed at the National
Level as early as eighth grade, where she was honored with the Commanding General's coin
by a two-star general from Fort Knox, Kentucky; and
WHEREAS, Cadet Drill Team Commander Parell has won an impressive five region titles,
six state titles, two All Army Runner-Up finishes, and five national titles, including her most
recent national victory last year; and
WHEREAS, as this magnificent team earned its well-deserved reputation for excellence by
performing with courage and precision over months of training and competition, it is
abundantly proper to call them champions.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that
the members of this body recognize and commend the Ringgold High School JROTC Tiger
Guard drill team and extend best wishes for their continued success.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized
and directed to make an appropriate copy of this resolution available for distribution to the

## Summaries written by Georgia Commons

The following was written by claude-sonnet-5 from the text above and is not part of the resolution. Quote the text, not the summary.

A Georgia House resolution commends the Ringgold High School JROTC Tiger Guard drill team for its competitive record and directs the House Clerk to send the team a copy of the honor.

### Plain-language summary

This resolution is a ceremonial statement from the Georgia House of Representatives recognizing the Ringgold High School JROTC Tiger Guard drill team. It describes the team's history of winning over 50 All Army and National trophies and multiple region and state championships over the past eight years, despite being the smallest team competing at the national level.
The resolution also highlights the team forming the first all-female color guard to present colors at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and praises Cadet Drill Team Commander Parell's individual titles. It closes by having the House formally commend the team and extend best wishes, and directs the Clerk of the House to make a copy available for distribution to the team. It does not change any Georgia law.

### What it does

- Formally recognizes and commends the Ringgold High School JROTC Tiger Guard drill team on behalf of the House of Representatives.
- Extends the House's best wishes for the team's continued success in future competitions.
- Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to the team.

### Who it affects

The resolution names the Ringgold High School JROTC Tiger Guard drill team and its Cadet Drill Team Commander Parell. It also directs an action by the Clerk of the House of Representatives, but has no legal effect on the general public.

### Why it matters

The resolution carries no legal or funding consequences; it is a symbolic honor. Its main real-world effect is that the team receives an official copy of the House's commendation recognizing its competitive achievements and historic performance at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
