Claire Schumacher

Head Competition Cheerleading Coach

CoEd Varsity Competition Cheer

I am a Prince William County native and attended Brentsville High School. I cheered all four years on Varsity at BDHS. Our squad made it to the Virginia State Tournament twice out of the four years that I was there. I also cheer competitively on Northern Virginia Tigers for a year. 

I attended Radford University and graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Exercise, Sport, and Health Education. I am currently starting my 10th year teaching Health and Physical Education at Gainesville Middle School. I was the head coach of sideline and competition cheerleading at GVMS for 3 years, 2 of the years going undefeated. 

I was an assistant coach for the competition squad at Patriot High School 4 years ago, being a part of first squad to make it to States in school history.

This will be my 8th year with Patriot Cheerleading!

I am proud to say that our team made it to States two years ago and placed 7th overall!

This pasted year we placed second in our Region--in a normal cheer year we would have been headed to states again!

I am excited to continue my position as head Coach and have another exciting and successful cheer year!
