CHS Air Force JROTC

Cadets have been studying Rocketry recently to compliment the Space academic lessons this year. Yesterday was the culmination as the cadets were able to launch the rockets they built.

Proud to announce that we received the Distinguished Unit Award for SY2025-2026! This award is a testament to all the time and effort the Cadets put in this year. Great Job!

Cadets have been busy lately. We have April cadets of the month, along with squadron of the month. Hot Slaw Festival in downtown Cleveland, CTE awards banquet, Marksmanship Competition at Ooltewah High School, and our Field Trip to the University of Tennessee Knoxville to check out their ROTC program. Then we went to Dollywood for some food and fun!!!

Saturday, April 11, the JROTC team competed in the HIxon High School JROTC Olympics. They placed 2nd in Academics, 3rd in Colorguard, and 3rd in Unarmed Drill categories. They also competed in Armed Drill, Marksmanship and Raiders events. Congratulations to our JROTC Blue Raider Corps! Ccs Cte

The Blue Raider Corps celebrated the achievements of our outstanding cadets with our annual Military Ball and Awards Night. Cadets enjoyed getting some well deserved hardware and then enjoyed a delicious meal. There was a time of paying your dues for infractions at the "Grog Bowl". Even Mr. Pritchard got in on the fun. Lastly, the cadets danced the night away to finish off the evening. A great time was had by all. Thank you to all of the cadets and volunteers who worked hard to make the night a success. Ccs Cte

Cadets of the Month and the Top Academic Cadets took a trip to U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, AL. This year, Aerospace Science academics focused on space and this trip provided hands on reinforcement of those lessons. Cleveland City Schools CTE
