Elkhart High Air Force JROTC highlights fundraising, service and competitive success
Summary
Elkhart High School's Air Force JROTC presented a mission brief to the board detailing unit goals, nearly 800 community service hours, national competition placements and a passing HQ unit assessment.
Elkhart High School's Air Force Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps presented a mission brief to the Elkhart Community Schools Board of Trustees on Feb. 11, highlighting unit goals, community service and competitive achievements.
Cadets outlined 2024–25 goals including a 75% passage rate for the 30-command drill sequence and a target of more than 50% of cadets scoring at or above the 30th percentile on fitness measures. "We have achieved that goal," one cadet said of a school-wide can drive that collected more than 1,000 cans.
Cadets reported roughly 776 community service hours across about seven service events, described leadership development activities (LDRs) such as Raider Team, color guard and marksmanship, and noted Raider Team's national standings. "Our Raider team here this last year placed seventh in the male all national competition at Fort Knox," a cadet said, adding that the unit is the top Air Force team in the nation for the second consecutive year. The unit also reported fundraising of more than $11,000, with roughly $9,500 from online donations.
The presentation noted unit-wide improvements in physical training and nutrition education; cadets said all cadets reached at least the 50th percentile in one reporting metric. The cadets also described an upcoming May trip to Grissom Air Force Base that will include career-field shadowing across flight-line, security and life-support areas.
Board members praised the cadets' presentation and command presence. A board member emphasized that about 80% of the cadet corps had finished their LDR hours and called that percentage "a pretty large percentage." The board expressed appreciation for instructors and staff who support the program.
No board action was required; the segment was listed on the agenda as a "moment of pride." The cadets answered questions about the Cats In Action (CIA) trip acronym and described participation in parades, the military ball and community events.
