Paris Independent School District

The Paris High School Cheerleaders recently attended a dynamic three-day cheer camp hosted by Express Cheer, where they showcased their skills, spirit, and teamwork alongside cheerleaders from across the region. The camp provided an exciting opportunity for each participant to grow individually and as a team through high-energy instruction, leadership training, and performance challenges.

Throughout the camp, cheerleaders had the chance to earn ribbons celebrating excellence in various aspects of cheerleading. These accolades included titles such as Loveable Leader, Jazzy Jumper, Stunning Stunter, Amazing Attitude, Sparkling Spirit, Marvelous Motions, and Spirit Star. Each ribbon represents a unique skill set—from leadership and jumps to stunting and overall enthusiasm.

One of the most coveted honors was the Spirit Star ribbon, which came with an automatic invitation to perform in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade—a recognition reserved for those who demonstrated exceptional spirit and dedication. As a result of their outstanding performances, fourteen Paris High School cheerleaders earned this distinguished opportunity to take the national stage in the 2025 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City—a true testament to their talent, hard work, and heart.

Paris High School Cheer Coach Hannah Moran shared, “Our athletes gave it their all this week, and I couldn’t be prouder of how they represented our school. These recognitions are well deserved, and the opportunity to perform in the Macy’s Parade is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that reflects the hard work they’ve put in.”

The Paris High School cheerleaders continue to represent their community with pride, energy, and excellence both on and off the sidelines.
