A proud day for the Granbury MCJROTC family!

Congratulations to former Granbury MCJROTC Cadet Milligan, who was commissioned this past weekend as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps following his graduation from Texas A&M University.

Making the moment even more special, two members of our MCJROTC family were there to take part in the ceremony. Former Cadet Sgt Hafford had the honor of rendering 2ndLt Milligan’s first salute, while our former Marine Instructor, 1stSgt Rositas, had the privilege of pinning on his Second Lieutenant bars.

From cadet to Marine Officer — we could not be prouder to see one of our own earn the title and begin the next chapter of his service.

Congratulations, 2ndLt Milligan. Semper Fidelis! 🇺🇸🦅🌎⚓

📚🎉 The 2026–2027 School Year is Officially Underway! 🇺🇸

Today, Granbury ISD came together for our annual Convocation to kick off another exciting school year. It was a great opportunity to welcome new staff, reconnect with colleagues, and celebrate the shared mission of serving the students of Granbury.

The Granbury High School MCJROTC Color Guard was honored to present the Colors and help open this special event. Our cadets continue to represent our program, school, and community with professionalism, pride, and respect. We are incredibly proud of the way they stepped up to support the district as we begin a new year.

As we move into the 2026–2027 school year, we look forward to developing leaders of character, building confident young men and women, and continuing our tradition of excellence in the classroom, on our teams, and throughout the community.

Here’s to a fantastic year ahead for all of Team GISD!

Semper Fidelis, and Go Pirates! 🇺🇸💜🖤

Today our Granbury High School MCJROTC Cadets, along with our outstanding Booster Club volunteers, were proud to support the Blazin’ Saddle 75 Bicycle Rally!

Community service is a cornerstone of the MCJROTC program, and our cadets had the opportunity to give back while representing Granbury High School with professionalism, enthusiasm, and a willingness to serve. From assisting riders to helping keep the event running smoothly, they demonstrated the values of leadership, teamwork, and selfless service throughout the day.

A huge thank you to our incredible Booster Club members for volunteering their time and working alongside our cadets. Your continued support makes opportunities like this possible and helps strengthen our program.

Semper Fidelis! 🇺🇸🦅🌎⚓

WELCOME ABOARD, FUTURE PIRATES! 🇺🇸🦅

Today we had the privilege of welcoming our newest Granbury High School MCJROTC cadets and their families to our New Cadet Orientation. It was a great opportunity to introduce parents and students to what our program is all about—developing leadership, character, citizenship, self-discipline, and confidence.

Throughout the morning, our incoming cadets got a firsthand look at the excitement that awaits them this school year. They learned about the opportunities available in MCJROTC, met our outstanding cadet leaders, and participated in team-building activities, leadership challenges, drill, physical training, and demonstrations from some of our competitive teams.

A special thank you goes out to our cadet staff, who planned, organized, and led today’s orientation. Your professionalism, enthusiasm, and willingness to mentor our newest cadets truly demonstrated what leadership in action looks like. You set the standard and represented our battalion with pride.

We also want to extend our sincere appreciation to all of the parents and family members who took time out of their day to attend. Your support and involvement are essential to your cadet’s success, and we appreciate the trust you’ve placed in our program.

We’re excited to welcome the Class of 2026-2027 into the Granbury MCJROTC family. This is just the beginning of an incredible journey, and we can’t wait to see what this group accomplishes over the coming year.

Welcome to the Battalion… Semper Fidelis! 🇺🇸💜💛

Day 3 of Cadet Staff Leadership Training is in the books!

Today concluded three outstanding days of preparation as our Battalion Staff finalized plans for tomorrow’s New Cadet Leadership Camp. Throughout the day, our cadets participated in leadership discussions, officer and enlisted breakout sessions, orientation rehearsals, drill, formations, and final staff corrections. Every event was designed to ensure our student leaders are ready to welcome and mentor the next generation of Granbury MCJROTC cadets.

A heartfelt thank you to MSgt. Perry and Capt. Eitel for taking the time to invest in our cadets. Your willingness to share your leadership experiences, challenge our staff, and mentor our future leaders made a tremendous impact. The professionalism, knowledge, and perspective you brought to the classroom reinforced the importance of servant leadership and leading by example.

I am incredibly proud of our Battalion Staff. Over the past three days, they have grown as leaders, strengthened their teamwork, and demonstrated the commitment and professionalism that make our program successful. Now it’s time to put that training into action as we welcome our newest cadets tomorrow.

The future of the Granbury High School MCJROTC Pirate Battalion is bright, and it starts with leaders who are committed to serving others.

Semper Fidelis! 🇺🇸💜

Day 1 of our Cadet Staff Leadership Training is officially in the books!

Today, our cadet leaders spent the day sharpening the skills they’ll need to lead our battalion this year. We focused on teamwork, communication, professionalism, and the responsibility that comes with wearing leadership billets. Great leaders aren’t born—they’re developed through training, hard work, and a commitment to serving others.

I’m proud of the effort and attitude these cadets brought today. This is just the beginning, and I’m looking forward to seeing them continue to grow throughout the week.

Semper Fidelis! 🇺🇸💜
