2022 UIL STATE RUNNER UP
2023 UCA Regional Champion
2025 UIL STATE CHAMPION

The Hardin-Jefferson High School 2023-2024 Cheerleading squads are made up of some of the hardest working students of H-J. They cheer for the football teams, volleyball team, basketball teams and attend many other events throughout the school year. These students often play other sports, hold class offices, as well as take on a rigorous class load of academics. Here at H-J we want our students to be as involved in all areas of the school as possible. If this is a group that you would like to be a part of, contact the coach, Alicia Rutherford, at aliciarutherford@hjisd.net. We do have a yearly tryout procedure that usually begins in February.
The Hardin-Jefferson High School cheer program is proud of their accomplishments at the UIL State Spirit Competition as well as Nationals. The following are the past results from the competitions:
