About the Brigade

The 11th Brigade of the California Cadet Corps (CACC) was established in 2005, and since its inception, it has proudly served as a cornerstone of leadership and character development within the San Bernardino Unified School District. This brigade encompasses all schools and units within the district, covering the city of San Bernardino and its surrounding areas, providing students from elementary through high school with opportunities to grow as responsible leaders and disciplined individuals.

Over the years, the 11th Brigade has supported more than 15 schools, including elementary, middle, and high schools, as well as military and public safety academies. These schools have spanned a diverse educational landscape—from traditional public schools to charter, private, religious, and military-style institutions. Today, the brigade continues to thrive, maintaining a strong presence in 8 schools: 3 high schools, 5 middle schools, 1 elementary school and 1 charter school.

Recognized as one of the largest and most successful brigades in the state of California, the 11th Brigade is known for its commitment to excellence. With a track record of producing highly capable and well-rounded cadets, the brigade fosters a legacy of teamwork, leadership, and academic achievement. Through its rigorous programs and diverse training opportunities, the 11th Brigade continues to make an enduring impact on the lives of young leaders, shaping the future of both the CACC and the broader community.

At the 11th Brigade, we are more than just a cadet corps; we are a family committed to growing the next generation of leaders.
