By formally congratulating the team, SR479 serves to recognize the importance of extracurricular activities like cheerleading in shaping the character of students and fostering teamwork. The public acknowledgment through a state resolution can inspire other teams and schools to pursue excellence in their respective fields.

Summary

SR479 is a Senate Resolution recognizing and congratulating the Cedartown High School Game Day Cheerleaders for their achievement in winning the GHSA 3A-4A Division State Game Day Cheerleaders Championship in 2023. This resolution highlights the team's dedication, hard work, and the spirit of unity that propelled them to success throughout the season.

Contention

While the resolution primarily serves as a congratulatory message, it also showcases the state's support for high school athletics. Such recognition can be contentious in the sense that it highlights the disparities in funding and support between various schools and programs. Some may argue that focus should be placed on critical educational and funding issues rather than celebratory resolutions. Nonetheless, SR479 aims to uplift the achievements of the Cedartown cheerleaders and serve as a testament to student success at the high school level.
