Alpharetta High School’s Competition Cheerleading squad won the 5A State Championship from the Georgia High School Association – a first for the school’s team. AHS also won the Grand Champion Trophy, which is for the highest score among all regions.

Coached by Katie Gumm, who took over as head coach last year and has made quite the mark in her first 2 years, AHS won its first regional title last fall and a second regional title this year. The squad also took the lead at other competitive cheer events, such as the North Gwinnett Bulldog Cheer Classic (placed 1st), the Parkview Invitational (placed 1st), the Kell Roundup Competition (placed 2nd), the Woodstock Trick or Treat Invitational (placed 1st), and the Etowah Eagle Mountain Cheer Classic (placed 1st).
