My name is Ms. Ivy Patterson. I was born and raised in Talladega, Al. I cheered throughout middle and high school, where I served as co-captain. I have a Bachelor's Degree from Alabama A&M University. While at Alabama A&M University, I served as a Bulldog cheerleader. While cheering at Alabama A&M University, I received the opportunity to cheer at the John Merritt Classic in front of over 50,000 people. I also had the opportunity to compete against and cheer with many other college squads including the Oklahoma Sooners. I received my M.S. degree from Jacksonville State University. I'm very excited about spending this year as the cheer sponsor for Duran Junior High School. We are going to have an excellent year!
