Arkansas High School Varsity attended National Cheerleaders Association (NCA) Cheer Camp at the University of Arkansas – Little Rock. In addition to learning stunts, chants, and other cheerleader skills, NCA founded in 1948, encourages cheerleaders to be leaders on and off the field by getting involved and giving back to their communities.

The varsity team received first place in Game Day Cheer and first place in Band Chant. They were also voted Overall Most Spirited Team. Other awards include Bid to NCA Nationals, Stunt Safe Award, Technical Excellence in Motions, and Early Evaluation Herkie Team Award.
