"Prepare TX-861 Cadets to succeed in a complex and dynamic environment as effective & capable leaders and mentors."
The TX-861 Cadet Corps patch represents our commitment to excellence and our pride in being a part of the Westwood High School Warriors. In the picture, the motto "No one comes close!" embodies our commitment to always doing our best. The four-ship of combat aircraft emitting contrails while flying through the blue sky depicts our Westwood Warrior ethos, teamwork, and esprit de corps. The bluebonnets represent the resilience of the Cadet Corps. The colors (white and Texas orange) are the school colors. The small orange star rests over our location, "deep in the heart of Texas."
