Varsity Head Coach

The 2025-2026 school year will be Coach Warnock’s second year teaching English II, and her first year teaching and coaching at Vandegrift. She has always had a passion for both education and cheer, and is super excited to start her “dream job!” She cannot wait to make memories and have a wonderful year.

Coach Warnock has been involved in cheerleading for most of her life, with nine years of competitive cheer experience and six years of sideline cheer. She brings both NCA and UIL experience to the program, and she is passionate about helping athletes grow not only in their skills, but also in confidence, teamwork, and leadership.

She grew up right here in the Austin area and graduated from Vista Ridge High School, where her love for both cheer and student leadership flourished. She was also very involved in student ministry at Northpoint Church, which shaped a lot of who she is today. After high school, she went on to attend college at Mississippi State University. Hail state!  She graduated with a degree in Secondary English Education.

Coach Warnock is married to her middle school sweetheart (yes, you read that right, ha!) and they live here in Austin with their golden retriever, Bear. Sydney is incredibly honored to step into this role and can’t wait to work with the amazing athletes and families at Vandegrift High School. Go Vipers!
