The JROTC Leadership & Academic Bowl (JLAB) is an all-service national academic competition created exclusively for JROTC students. By participating, cadets learn the values of citizenship, leadership, academic competition, and college opportunity. The JROTC Leadership & Academic Bowl includes two online rounds during the school year and the championships in Washington D.C. over the summer.
The Kay Battalion cadets competed for the first time in the Leadership Bowl and Academic Bowl during the 2020-2021 school year.
