Early Traditions & Spirit Building (1970s–1980s)

• Mid-1970s: The 1975–76 Talon yearbook showcases the varsity cheerleaders (“Talonettes”) led by a "Captain," "1st Lt.," and "2nd Lt.," with a dedicated sponsor encouraging school spirit and halftime performances. These squads practiced diligently and focused on boosting morale at games and events.
  
  

• Late-1970s: In 1978, cheerleaders and Talonettes were essential to pep rallies, ushering in football players and energizing crowds. Their presence fostered a communal school spirit, rallying over 700 students.
  
  

• 1980s: Cheerleaders continued to animate pep rallies with dynamic routines, interacting closely with both students and faculty. A 1984 yearbook mentions cheerleaders “bouncing across the floor,” orchestrating spirited performances that reinforced unity and pride.

FAST FORWARD TO TODAY!

Today, Crowley ISD supports structured cheerleading programs at both Crowley High School (CHS) and North Crowley High School (NCHS). These teams operate under UIL and district guidelines, highlighting their status as genuine student-athletes committed to school spirit and performance quality.

Tryouts & Training: Annual tryouts involve mandatory clinics and parent meetings, rigorous selection packets, physical exams, and performance evaluations to select both cheer and mascot squads
