Our JROTC Color Guard presented the colors at the Charlotte Bobcats vs. Chicago Bulls game on Tuesday, January 6, 2010. It was a grand evening for our Color Guard. They were there pre-game to watch the warm-ups and they got to meet players. We are proud of their fine job of presenting the colors. They were able to stay until 3rd quarter.

Special thanks to 1st. Sgt. Hugee for all of his work with the Color Guard and to Mr. Gaines for helping to chaperone the trip.

Our Color Guard had the distinction of presenting the colors for a retirement event at Ft. Jackson Officers Club on Wednesday, December 09, 2009.

We are proud of the work that these Cadets do and thank 1st. Sgt. Hugee for his time and leadership with the Color Guard.

It is amazing to see the quality of presentation by our Color Guard.It is amazing to see this because they have been doing this for only a few weeks as a group. We are proud of their contribution to organizations in our local community and the state. On Friday, December 04, they presented the Colors for a state wide meeting of the SC Employment Security Commission held here in Columbia.

Our Color Guard also went to Hilton Head to present the Colors at the state conference for the SC Alliance of Government Purchasing Officials. They particulary enjoyed this one because they stayed overnight in Hilton Head.

They also lead our JROTC in the parades where they marched. see Activites for more about this.

 Videos of each is posted on Capzles and pictures are opn Picasa.

Members from the Univeristy of South Carolina ROTC spoke to cadets about the ROTC program at USC and other colleges, including Midlands Tech. They told everyone about how the program works and benefits of ROTC. Cadets had some excellent questions at the end of the assembly. 

Many of our former students have joined the service. We have cadets in the Army, Navy, AirForce and Marines. Others have served our country and are now in civilian jobs or school. We are PROUD of all of our Cadets.

We all attend JROTC class everyday. In case you do not know much about what we learn, our creed says it all.

                                      THE JROTC CREED

• I am an Army JROTC cadet. I will always conduct myself to bring credit to my family, country, school, and the corps of cadets.

• I am loyal and patriotic. I am the future of the United States of America.

• I do not lie, cheat, or steal and will always be accountable for my actions and deeds.

• I will always practice good citizenship and patriotism.

• I will work hard to improve my mind and strengthen my body.

• I will seek the mantle of leadership and stand prepared to uphold the Constitution and the American way of life.

• May God grant me the strength to always live by this creed.

We also learn about teamwork and leadership. The Drill Team and Color Guard are two experiences that provide cadets opportunity to develop these and more.
