The Unit was established at the start of the 2008 – 2009 school year and is based out of Mayde Creek High School, but serves all High Schools within Katy ISD.

The Unit was Commissioned as a U.S. Navy JROTC Unit on 15 April 2009. Since then, the Unit has been the recipient of multiple Distinguished Unit awards, competed and won in numerous competitive events ranging from Drill, Academics, Marksmanship, and Cyber Patriot team competitions.

The program is the first and only JROTC program within Katy ISD, which is where our unit motto "First and Finest" derives from.
