Sandra Bullock

Sandra Bullock had once been a cheerleader leading pep rallies at Washington-Lee High School before she even became an award-winning actress. Located in the heart of Arlington Virginia, the Blind Side star Sandra Bullock attended Washington-Lee High School.  Prior to graduating in the class of 1982, Bullock also participated in the theater productions of her school. Because of her “friendly and direct and so unpretentious” character, Bullock has been nicknamed “America’s sweetheart” in the media since her acting debut and perhaps that’s why she was part of the cheerleading squad.

Madonna

Years before she became widely recognized as the Material Girl, Madonna grew up as a child of Italian – American Blue-collar immigrants in Detroit. When Madonna was attending Rochester Adams High School, she was a member of the cheerleading squad, as well as a straight-A student. Even though she did receive a dance scholarship from Michigan University, Madonna dropped out in 1978, moving to New York City. And it was there that the young artist began developing into an iconic star in pop music. And according to Billboard, Madonna is the most successful solo artist in the history of their Hot 100 chart. Now she also holds the record in Australia, Canada, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom for the most number-one singles by a female artist.
