Our campus has the only Marine Corps JROTC program in the district.

Our cadets have competed at the national level for the last 3 years and place in the top 3 units in physical fitness on a consistent basis, with the girls' PT team dominating first place the last few years.

Various athletic teams often qualify for first and second round play-off seats.
