Leading this remarkable dance team at Second Baptist School is Coach Madelyn Whitehead. She begins her fifth year of coaching in the 2020- 2021 school year.

Director of Athletics Mike Walker says this of Coach Whitehead, "She does a fabulous job as coach of the Golden Girls. Not only has this team finished in the top two three years in a row (winning state in 2018), but Coach Whitehead leads this program living out every aspect of our school's core values. She is an incredible and godly example, modeling to her team how to live, love and lead like Jesus.
