A former Chattooga High cheerleader has signed on with Dalton State to be one of the college's first 13 cheerleaders.

Kandi Adams graduated from Chattooga High in 2009, according to principal Jeff Martin. She is from Summerville and was a member of the Chattooga Varsity cheerleading squad.   

According to Dalton State cheerleading coach Robyn Newell. the squad's main goal is to support other athletic teams and to "spread cheer throughout the campus and community."  

The aim is for the team to be a highly competitive cheerleading squad. Newlell said, "the competitive roster will be set following open tryouts this spring. The Dalton State cheerleading open tryouts will provide an opportunity to fill the 26 spots left on our roster."

An official induction took place Friday night.
