Vikings Cheerleading
The Vikings Cheerleading program offers two seasons of the sport for both middle and high school students. Spirit Cheer is held during football and basketball season, as the girls support the athletic teams in the fall and winter.
Jaime Cook
Varsity Cheer Coach
St. Anne-Pacelli Catholic School is excited to announce the hiring of a new coach for its high school varsity cheerleading program! Jaime Cook is coming to Pacelli from Aaron Cohn Middle School in Columbus, Ga., where she has served as an English teacher and head cheerleading coach for the past six years. In addition to coaching Pacelli’s varsity cheer squad, Cook will teach Language Arts and Literature to 6th graders at St. Anne-Pacelli beginning in the 2023-2024 school year.
A competitive and spirit cheerleader for most of her life, Cook was selected to be a part of the Allstate Cheerleading Team as one of the top 16 cheerleaders in the state of Georgia during her senior year at Northside High School.
“Our varsity cheer program will be the support group for all areas of our school. We will promote school spirit, encourage a culture of excellence, and build on the feeling of family at St. Anne-Pacelli,” Cook said. “Our cheerleaders will promote traditions or even start new traditions that bring the whole school together. It is my hope that this program will also help our cheerleaders develop qualities that will enable them to achieve success in all future endeavors.”
“I am thrilled that Coach Cook said yes to serving as Pacelli’s varsity cheerleading coach,” said St. Anne-Pacelli Catholic School Athletic Director Corry Black. “She brings a tremendous amount of experience and passion to our program, and I know our students will benefit from her leadership.”
Cook and her husband, Jeffrey, a firefighter, have two sons: 4-year-old Jimmy and 1-year-old Jack. Jimmy will also join the Viking family next school year, as a Pre-K4 student.
Haley Kirkman, who cheered with Cook at Northside High School and has coached at United Cheerleading, will serve as Cook's varsity cheer coach assistant.

Crescent Anderson-Bone
Middle School Cheer Coach
The 2023-2024 school year will mark Crescent Anderson-Bone’s third season as St. Anne-Pacelli Middle School’s Cheer Coach. Originally from Pensacola, Florida, Anderson-Bone has called Columbus home since 1992. She worked in the medical field until the birth of her third child in 2017.
Anderson-Bone says cheerleading has been a part of her life since she was a little girl. “Like many girls, I started cheering on a Pee Wee team,” she notes. “Cheerleading became a bigger part of my life in middle school, and my love for the sport continued through my high school years.”
Growing the cheerleading program is a priority for Anderson-Bone. “Cultivating a cheer program that not only cheers on our athletes, but has a presence all over campus and celebrates the school as a whole is my true vision,” she explains.
When she’s not coaching cheer, Anderson-Bone can be found spending time with her family. “My husband, Ben, and I love to spend time with our family and friends, take trips and enjoy the occasional concert together.”
Anderson-Bone will be assisted by Colbi Goedert Tomez (Pacelli Class of 2015) and Madison Vinyard Elliott (Pacelli Class of 2017), both former cheerleaders at St. Anne-Pacelli Catholic School.
