To celebrate CTE Month this February, we’re proud to sponsor ‘The Way I Heard It with Mike Rowe’ podcast to highlight our Career and Technical Education (CTE) application and how we support our Marine Scholars pursuing careers in skilled trades. Listen to the latest episode we sponsored: https://bit.ly/TWIHI468ThomasTull

The Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation’s CTE program offers financial support to children of Marines and Navy Corpsmen enrolled in non-degree certification programs of any length—from healthcare to welding and electrical work, cosmetology, and countless other hands on professions.

Our CTE application is open year-round! To learn more about eligibility and how to apply, visit www.mcsf.org/cte-financial-aid-faq/.

The Drill Team finished out an awesome season for 25-26 with too many accolades to mention. 4 competitions in 2 states that started back in October. None of our teams accomplishments would have ever been possible without the drive, dedication and commitment from our seniors. The Class of 2026 has continued to raise the bar every year and definitely has taken on the mantra”Leave it better than you found it”. The 7 seniors are true leaders and mentors. Thank You!!

As we look forward to 26-27, we are ready to continue the journey. Thanks to everyone for your energy and support and we hope to see the entire Big Orange community on Nov 14, 2026 for the Big Orange Classic
