The Gray New Gloucester Varsity Cheerleading Team would like to thank everyone who contributed to the success of our Fall Cheerleading Season. Our commitment to promoting school spirit, breast cancer awareness, and civic responsibility would not have been possible without the generosity of the Gray New Gloucester community.

GNGHS Cheerleading has been evolving over the summer and throughout the fall season. We have a new exciting coaching staff and some very special accomplishments to celebrate. This August, we attended NCA Cheerleading Camp at Husson College which was a lot of fun, and I am proud to announce qualified us for several recognitions and awards such as: a Bid to NCA Nationals, All American Nominations, and Superior Ribbons, not to mention a Spirit Stick! Fall cheerleading brought with it many new faces and a sense of vibrant passion and a willingness to build a bigger and better program at GNG.
