Overview

Small class sizes, supervised study hours, compulsory sports (football, basketball, soccer, baseball, lacrosse, etc.) and mandatory chapel services are the building blocks of the program designed to prepare cadets for college, career and life. Students develop character and values while learning time-management skills and self-discipline. The JROTC program, an Honor Unit with Distinction, provides opportunities for leadership and personal accountability. Aviation, raiders, SCUBA, drill teams, riflery, and Boy Scouts further leadership development. Nearly 100 percent of our graduates are accepted to notable colleges and universities.
