The Mount Pleasant High School Cheerleaders attended UCA camp at Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine from June 9-12. While at camp, the team received the spirit stick all 3 days, 3rd place in the varsity division for their Rally routine, and MPHS cheer was named Superior Squad of the week for receiving a blue ribbon for every routine.

Three cheerleaders earned individual accolades. Samantha Phillips and Ariel Parr (the Grrr, Tiger Mascot) were given the prestigious “Pin it Forward Award’, given by a staff member to a camper for a quality that made them stand out. All American Cheerleaders included Phillips, Parr, and Clara Alvarado. Parr also earned a leadership award.

The 2019-2020 cheerleaders are under the direction of Tammy Thomas and Shanta Lockett. The Varsity squad includes Megan Adams, Alvarado, Aunesti Brannon, Trinitee Brannon, Leslie Espinoza, Karigan Fox, Erika Galindo, Ladi Guereca, Treshure Hines, Makayla Kirkwood, Beth Lockett, Felicity Miller, Chazlea Morris, Jordan Neal, Katie Ochoa, Parr—the Grrr, Phillips, Jakayla Sanders, Emily Walden, and Anna Claire Wall.
