Raider Team

The Bettye Davis East Anchorage High School Thunderbird Battalion Raider Team represents the peak of physical conditioning, tactical skill, and rugged endurance within the school’s JROTC program. Built around grit and high-intensity competition, the Raider Team tests cadets through grueling events like team 5K runs, obstacle courses, rope-bridge construction, and heavy equipment carries, demanding absolute reliance on one another to cross the finish line.

You should join the Thunderbird Raider Team if you want to push past your physical limits and forge unbreakable bonds with a high-performing squad. It offers high school athletes and fitness enthusiasts an intense, rewarding outlet to build functional strength, mental toughness, and split-second problem-solving skills under pressure. Being a Thunderbird Raider isn’t just about competing at a high level—it’s about developing the stamina, resilience, and command presence that set you apart in college, military service, and long-term career leadership.
