Habersham Central High School senior Kelsi Littlejohn will continue both her academic and athletic career at Brenau University after signing to join the school’s 2026-2027 competitive cheer team.
Littlejohn, a member of the Habersham Central High School Class of 2026, has been involved in cheerleading since the seventh grade and said her journey in the sport began simply by wanting to try something new.
“Well, really I just wanted to get into something,” Littlejohn said. “I’m always in for trying something new. And I went and tried it. I love it.”
Over the years, Littlejohn developed into one of the leaders of the Lady Raiders cheer program, eventually serving as team captain during her senior year.
She officially signed with Brenau University on Tuesday and described the experience as an emotional milestone.
“It feels amazing,” Littlejohn said. “It’s truly a dream come true.”
Habersham Central cheer coach Mackenzie Stuart praised Littlejohn’s dedication and work ethic throughout her time in the program.
“I’m so proud of Kelsie and all she has accomplished at HCHS,” Stuart said. “She has such a heart and passion for this sport. She pushes herself until she knows she’s the best she can be. I know she will be a huge asset to Brenau University’s program.”
Littlejohn now prepares to graduate from Habersham Central before beginning the next chapter of her cheerleading career at Brenau University this fall.
