Co-curricular Activities
In addition to our cadets’ participation in the course, we also participate in a variety of other activities. Here is a list of all the fun activities that you can do after school or join in on if you are looking for something to do.
Raiders Team
Captains: 1st Lt Zach Clayman, 1st Lt Lucas Pinto
Raiders Team consists of two 8 cadet teams. Raider Team promotes esprit de corps, teamwork, and self-confidence. It provides JROTC cadets a competitive program in activities such as MediVac, Cross Country Rescue, 5K (3Mi) run, Gauntlet, Tug of War, and Rope Bridge. This team competes in Georgia for nationals during the first season of Raiders!
Drill Team
Captain: Lt. Col. Maddie Cefalo, 1st Lt Ricardo Santos
Drill team activities concentrate on the elements of military drill, and allows cadets to perfect precision movements, procedures for saluting, ceremonies and reviews, parades, and development of command voice and leadership opportunities. Students are provided detailed instruction on specific routines and apply Air Force drill concepts and procedures.
Color Guard Team
The Color Guard is also part of the Drill Team but can be considered separate from the drill team since both perform differently, but is one of the most noticeable co-curricular activities within the Air Force Junior ROTC program. Being part of the Color Guard gives a cadet the insight into how to properly present the national colors for selected events throughout the school year. The Color Guard consists of four highly motivated cadets that take pride in the presentation of the national colors at many events.
Marksmanship Team
Captain: Capt. Mia Riley-Norton
The Marksmanship Team is a competitive air rifle shooting sport that tests cadets precision, accuracy, and consistency from various distances, to a standing position and a laying position. This team practices every week during the season but only the top 5 will compete.

Academic Team

The Junior ROTC Leadership and Academic Bowl (JLAB) team is made up of current Freshmen-Junior cadets enrolled in the JROTC program.
