Petition is addressed to: School board of Garfield High School
As many know Garfield Cheerleaders have been known well around the community, just last year were CIF Champions. We were hit with the unexpected news that our whole coaching staff had been fired for no reason given at all. We were then hit with the news that the drill coach ( cheer & drill are completely different worlds) was hired as the new coach and has decided that drill and cheer were gonna combine. If you’re are cheerleader you know the feeling of this. You know how heartbreaking this news is. All we ask is that you help bring this team and REAL coaches justice.
Reason
our petition is import to save the soon to come falling of Garfield Cheerleading. Help the REAL athletes of Garfield Highschool.

Why people sign
This petition is important to me because the Garfield High School cheerleading team, has faced an unjust and unexpected upheaval with the firing of their entire coaching staff. As someone who may not be directly part of this community, I have friends who were dedicated cheerleaders, and I understand the profound impact such a change can have on the athletes and the community.
Cheerleading is not just a sport; it is a discipline that fosters teamwork, dedication, and school spirit. The Garfield High School cheerleading team, recently crowned CIF champions, has demonstrated excellence and commitment that should be celebrated and supported. The sudden dismissal of their coaching staff, without any transparent explanation, undermines the values of fairness and respect that the school community upholds.
The appointment of the drill coach to oversee both drill and cheer, and the decision to merge these distinct programs, is a disservice to the specialized training and unique traditions of cheerleading. This merger threatens to dilute the skills, passion, and identity that the cheerleaders have worked tirelessly to cultivate. It is essential to recognize and preserve the individuality and significance of each program.
By supporting this petition, I advocate for the reinstatement of the cheerleading coaches or, at the very least, a transparent and justified explanation for their removal. I stand with the cheerleaders in their quest for justice and the preservation of their sport’s integrity. This issue resonates beyond Garfield High School, as it highlights the importance of transparency, respect, and support for student-athletes everywhere.
We must ensure that the Garfield High School cheerleaders receive the justice they deserve and continue to inspire and lead with their exemplary spirit and dedication.

I want to support the community and the school
The reason why this petition is important to me, is as a former cheer leader myself ( hp cheer) NO cheerleader should have their coach taken away and get replaced with someone who has no cheer coach experience and is meant to be a coach for a drill team.
