RAIDERS!
Is a team made up of cadets who love working out and being adventurous. They compete in events across the state in competitions that involve physically and mentally challenging obstacle courses. These courses involve making and crossing rope bridges, first aid carries, and tire flipping. They also include scenarios where the team is given some equipment and the team must figure out how to use that equipment to accomplish the mission given in a scenario.
The team has been working out and practicing tying certain knots in preparation for competitions hopefully coming up in the second semester. Go Raiders!
RIFLE DRILL!
Is a team that involves an exact replica of an M1903 bolt action rifle that is used for precision movements and spinning. It demands individual discipline and working as a team to be successful on the drill teams. This team consists of 10 cadets who work in unison to create a 7–10-minute routine and use that routine to compete with other rifle drill teams across the state. It takes a lot of practice to learn the different moves and to create a routine for competitions.
The team has been working hard in practice this first semester and they cannot wait to be able to show off their skills to audiences everywhere! Go Rifle Drill Team!
UNARMED DRILL!
Is a team remarkably like the rifle drill team in that it also requires personal discipline and attention to detail to create a professional looking team. The difference is that this team does not use rifles. The team members create a routine using basic military drill movements while being creative in their routine. They also compete with other unarmed drill teams across the state.

COLOR GUARD!
Is a team that also requires personal discipline and attention to detail to create a professional looking team. This team consists of 4-6 cadets with two cadets carrying a 1903 drill rifle as guards to the flags. As well as competing with other color guard teams across the state, they perform for many major events in the community to include veteran’s day ceremonies, different sports activities, and parades.
