Cadet Achievements

Summer 2024

TX-861 had two cadets attend the AFJROTC Flight Academy in a scholarship program designed to inspire and encourage high school youth toward aviation careers. They were two of 200 cadets selected out of the Nation to participate in this highly selective program. The scholarship program is a collaborative effort between the aerospace industry and the Air Force to address a national pilot shortage. Well done to our high achievers!

TX-861's Color Guard, Drill, Sabers, and Fitness Teams competed at a regional JROTC competition alongside other Units on 2 November 2024, in San Angelo, Texas. Our teams did a phenomenal job and received 7 awards for placing 2nd Overall, 1st for Inspection, 2nd for Sabers, Male and Female Fitness, and 3rd for Armed Exhibition and 1st-year 30-step Drill. Outstanding job! We are so proud!

The TX-861st AFJROTC sent their Color Guard, Academic, Drill, & Raiders [Fitness] Teams to compete at Fort Cavazos' Annual JROTC Skills Meet, where they demonstrated their commitment to excellence as they competed alongside 16 other JROTC units from across the state. 

Members of the TX-861st AFJROTC Warriors stand tall in celebration after participating at the Hendrickson High School JROTC Skills Event. Our Drill, Color Guard, Academics, Fitness, and Marksmanship teams did an outstanding job, with the Warrior Academic Team winning 1st Place in the Academics competition. Well done to all!
