The Ruston High School Pepettes are a 70+ year old tradition at RHS. It is a spirit organization composed of the cheerleaders, Pom Squad, and Bearcat Belles. These groups support the athletic teams at RHS and promote Bearcat spirit among the student body and the community.                  

Cheerleaders Perform Well at NCA Camp in Natchitoches

The Varsity and JV Cheerleaders attended NCA camp June 1-4. The Varsity Cheerleaders won the Top Team trophy for their performance cheer. They also received the Spirit Stick and a bid to compete at NCA Senior and Junior High Nationals. Amy Cole was selected as Top All-American among all cheerleaders at camp. Eleven Varsity cheerleaders and one JV cheerleader was nominated to try out for All-American by the NCA staff. JV won the Game Day Top Team trophy. They received the Spirit Stick and a bid to compete at Nationals as well. 

One of the most exciting things about camp was officially naming the Bearcat "Rusty". Anna Ward, the 2008-2009 mascot, won the Mascot Leadership Award and the Most Improved Mascot trophy. She was named to the All-American Mascot Team. Both Anna and Amy Cole have the opportunity to perform in Hawaii or Florida after being named All-Americans.  Rusty the Bearcat will be introduced at Bearcat Madness in August and teach the crowd his "Eat' em up Cats!" chant.
