”I’ve always had a passion for cheer and it was very fun in high school because being with the team and cheering for others was always great,“ she added.
She later attended Mississippi State University, graduating in 2023, and is currently pursuing a Master’s Degree in special education.
Melendez is in her first year teaching at SHS. She is also married to Coach Jacob Melendez.
The official football season will begin in the fall, when Melendez will be part of the Warriors’ cheerleading program.
