Cheering Jefferson High into another season

“It’s still scary sometimes.”

Gathered in the Jefferson High School cafeteria with her newfound teammates, senior Brooke Eveland works through new cheers and dances, prepared by her fellow cheerleaders. While many of them have been a part of the squad for several seasons, Eveland is among this season’s new recruits and is helping rebuild the cheering ranks.

Jefferson High’s cheer squad entered the fall 2022 season with only seven cheerleaders. With Eveland and several other additions, the squad has grown to include 15 girls; enough for a team expansion.
