Within those seven years, I have made four high school state championship appearances as well as clinched one middle school conference championship. As a full-time job as a teacher, I get to touch many lives of students not only in the classroom but also as a softball and volleyball coach.

My name is Chelsa Brisolara-Huguet, but my cheerleaders call me Mrs. B. I am the head coach for the Long Beach Middle School Cheerleading Team. I grew up and cheered throughout my entire academic career here at Long Beach. It is an honor to be able to coach and pour into a program that gave me so much growing up! My favorite memories from cheering include Friday night football games, homecoming week and of course, competing and winning a state championship! Being a cheerleader taught me responsibility, positivity and teamwork and I work hard to instill those same values into the cheer team today!
