Reese Witherspoon
Unlike most of the celebrities on our list, Reese Witherspoon actually ditched cheerleading once she began high school at Harpeth Hall School. As a young pupil, she showed her school spirit for the Harding Academy while she was on their cheerleading team in middle school. Witherspoon attended both middle school and high school in Nashville, Tennessee.
While most high school students begin cheerleading in high school, Witherspoon went straight into acting and starred in her debut film, The Man on the Moon in 1991 at 14 years old. After graduating high school in 1994, the Academy Award winning actress attended Stanford University for a few semesters, before dropping out to officially focus on acting professionally.
