No athletic program in Jackson Parish and possibly north Louisiana has won as many national championships as the Quitman High School cheerleading squad. You don’t reach that level of success by chance. It takes hours upon hours of practice and training both individually and as a group.

This past week, the 27 young ladies who make up the two QHS cheer squads went to Northwestern State University in Natchitoches for a summer cheer camp to help prepare for the demands of the upcoming school year and future competition.
