Established in 1969 by Mr. J.L. McCullough, the Golden Girls Dance/Drill Team draws its name from Mr. McCullough’s alma mater, the LSU Tigers and Golden Girls Dance Team. Under the direction of Ms. Cynthia Gibson, the inaugural group of 35 young ladies embarked on their journey as the original Conroe Golden Girls. Since then, the team has upheld a legacy of excellence through performances, competitions, community service, and unwavering support for other Conroe High School activities. Over the years, the Golden Girls organization has welcomed numerous young dancers, and today, the team proudly includes many second-generation members.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A GOLDEN GIRL?
Being a Golden Girl is more than just joining a team; it’s becoming part of a family. For many girls, it’s their first chance to forge deep bonds and share experiences with others. Learning to collaborate closely, celebrating achievements, and overcoming challenges together are all integral parts of the Golden Girls sisterhood. To be selected as a Golden Girl is a true honor—a recognition of dedication and commitment. Golden Girls take great pride in its mission. Not only do they serve their school with the support of faculty, administration, and campus groups, but they also extend their service to the wider community, always ready to lend a helping hand. Through this organization, young women have a genuine opportunity to demonstrate initiative, leadership, and creativity. Performing in front of audiences helps each member build confidence and grace. The experiences gained through the Golden Girls organization foster personal growth and leadership skills, guiding young women through the transition from high school to adulthood with confidence and purpose.
