Newnan High School Cheer Program
Discover what makes cheerleading at Newnan High School more than just a sport. We focus on building strong athletes and leaders, fostering community spirit, and achieving excellence.
Our cheer programs
At Newnan High School, our cheer program is dynamic and diverse, offering opportunities across various cheer disciplines. Each program is designed to develop specific skills, foster teamwork, and promote school spirit while upholding the core values of the NHS Blue and Gold Club.
Sideline cheer
Sideline cheer focuses on energizing the crowd and supporting our Newnan High School football team. Our cheerleaders lead chants, perform dances, and execute stunts to boost team morale and engage spectators at football games. This program emphasizes spirit, presence, and crowd interaction.
Competition cheer
Competition cheer is for athletes dedicated to intense training and competitive performance. This program involves complex routines, advanced stunting, tumbling, and intricate choreography. Our competition team strives for excellence and showcases their skills at state and national competitions.
Game day cheer
Game day cheer combines elements of sideline and competition cheer, focusing on routines that simulate a real game day experience. This program highlights traditional game day elements like band dances, crowd-leading, and fight song performances, judged on their ability to create an authentic and spirited atmosphere.
More than just cheerleading
At Newnan High School, cheerleading is more than the sidelines — it's about building strong athletes and strong leaders. Guided by an amazing coaching staff, our cheerleaders excel in skill, confidence, and character.
We're proud to be rooted in our community, taking part in volunteer work and community projects throughout the year, and hosting a kids camp twice a year for young aspiring cheerleaders. Fundraising efforts and the support of our families keep the program thriving.
Our dedication shows on the competition floor, too — we earned 2nd place at the 2025 State Game Day competition.
Our goals and dreams for every cheerleader
Our main goals for our cheerleaders, both on and off the field, are to thrive and achieve their fullest potential. We aspire to win state championships in both game day competition and competition cheer. Off the field, we encourage our athletes to become leaders in the community, pursue higher education, and fulfill all their dreams.
How the NHS Blue and Gold Club supports our program
The NHS Blue and Gold Club is our dedicated booster club, vital to the success and accessibility of our cheer program. We raise money for essential items like uniforms, event participation fees, meals, and travel expenses. We also organize fundraising events and volunteer for activities, which helps keep costs low for parents.
This support ensures that every child can be included in cheerleading, regardless of financial background. We also use funds to send our girls to all-star gyms to learn advanced skills in stunting and tumbling, which not only benefits their high school performances but also helps with college scholarships. Our training focuses on core values applicable both on the team and in life. The booster club also covers meals for our athletes during games.
"At Newnan High, we don't just build cheerleaders. We build athletes, leaders, and lifelong members of our community. Go Cougars!"
