Coach Shannon Jones has been dedicated to coaching since becoming a DC Tiger 11 years ago. During high school, she was a Varsity Cheerleader, but it was not until she attended The North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (AGGIE PRIDE!) that she discovered her true passion—education and mentorship.

Her goal is to foster a positive and supportive learning environment for all athletes. For Coach Jones, cheerleading is more than just a hobby; it’s a commitment to shaping young leaders. She works diligently to ensure that her athletes are not just cheerleaders but ambassadors for their school and, most importantly, for themselves.

Each season brings new challenges and changes, but through growth and persistence, her team rises to meet them every time.
