My Project

Our Mission: "To motivate young people to be better citizens." You can help us reach that lofty goal! These items will help our Cadets advertise their program through the next school year with laminated signs and creative buttons.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it: Deploy your dollars to help us secure these critical assets!

Join us as we transform School Year 2024-2025 from mundane into the extraordinary. As we go forth (and sometimes fifth), we are ever improving! More air rifle competitions, color guard events, and opportunities to honor those Veterans who have served. With a goal to add a competitive archery program and to expand our physical training, we are providing opportunities to high school Junior ROTC Cadets and will build skills for their future as they seek employment and find their way in the world!
