Welcome to the Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC)
I retired from the Army in 2014 after 25 years. Since then I have been teaching Cadets in their first year of JROTC here at South Hills. This is me and my wife Lacey at our annual Cadet Ball. She is a third grade teacher in Godley ISD.Â

During the summer selected Cadets attend the JROTC Leadership Challenge Camp. For one week they will stay at Camp Rango in Azle, Texas where they will hone vital leadership skills while they participate in the high ropes challenge course, leader's reaction course and various STEAM (Science, Technical, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) activities.Â
This is our sixth year with a Robotics Special Team. We compete with robotics kits purchased from the VEX Robotics Company. Cadets who take robotics learn to design, engineer, and program robots to compete in that year's game. Click below to see this year's game.Â
Additionally, we will be competing with Drones as well this year
Cadets will have the opportunity to get involved in marksmanship training and compete against teams across America. This year will also begin a competitive archery team. If you are interested in improving your basic rife skills then this is the team for you.Â
