Unit Weekly News 17 - 30 March 2025

Greetings parents,

Our AFHQJROTC Unit Inspection has been rescheduled to Monday, 7 April 2025.  This is an important where cadets will each be inspected in uniform and we present our amazing events, competitions, and community service accomplishments from across the entire year.  This opportunity enables our cadets to be considered for the Air Force’s highest JROTC unit award.

For parents looking for pictures from last week’s Fierce Fox Meet, Mr Billy has shared his picture at https://www.scbilly.com/  Mr Billy is a huge supported of our program and provides these pictures with no expectations other than to share them with as many cadets and families as possible.
