Honor Guard team
The Honor Guard. Though they are not a competitive JROTC team, no JROTC can function without an Honor Guard. The people behind the scenes, the Honor Guard, are what keeps things running smoothly at team events and school functions. Tasks such as traffic directing, traffic control, coordination, tours, escorting, and even concession stand management are taken care of by the Honor Guard. However, the Honor Guard is not limited to JROTC events. Parents and new students appreciate their ushering and guidance efforts at Orientations and Open House Nights. Well organized, the Honor Guard can easily be considered a community service team. They help with events beyond the limits of the school campus at functions such as Toys for Tots, Monster Bash, Valentine Balls, indoor parades, to name a few. In addition to the tasks listed above, the Honor Guard could serve as guides or teachers to elementary students on how to fold flags. Needless to say, the Honor Guard is a vital component of a well-oiled JROTC. Practices for this team are in the form of scheduling coordination meetings to determine cadet availability and mission overviews. Practices occur approximately once per month, 2:30-4:00 pm.
