CORNELIA WILSON NHS CHEER SPONSOR Cornelia Wilson has been an English teacher and cheer sponsor for more than two decades at NISD. Since she took over as Navasota High School’s sponsor, the Rattler Cheerleaders have become known for being technically sharp and award-winning at UCA Camps. However, “sponsor” isn’t really the best word for what Mrs. Wilson does. The cheer organization is a family and she is second mom, friend and confidant to many. Cornelia Wilson lives and breathes school spirit and Rattler Pride. She spends countless hours holding practices, dreaming up pep rally themes, coordinating events on campus or within the community and supervising the cheerleaders from the sideline at sporting events. Because she brings tough love and a fun personality to the cheer program and to all Rattlers, Mrs. Wilson has influenced hundreds of students and embodies the spirit of NHS. For 36 years, she has been married to Dan, who organizes the Tunnel Crew at football games. They have three beautiful daughters — Sarah Shalley, Hannah Wilson and Rebekah Santoy – who are NHS alumni; two wonderful sons-in-law, Daniel Shalley and Roberto Santoy; but their greatest joy is being “Cookie” and “Chief ” to their grandsons, Parker and Pierce Shalley.
