We congratulate all teams for demonstrating their excellence in academic subjects, and a special congrats to our top 3 winners:

On the 14th of December, 8 units from the SDUSD Brigade participated in the nation wide Wreaths Across America at Greenwood Memorial Park and Mortuary. On this day, cadets assisted ceremony coordinators with transporting, unboxing, and laying wreaths on the graves of veterans, saying their names aloud to honor their service and sacrifice. Thank you to all schools who came out to support this event, you’ve demonstrated your commitment to the JROTC program and community proudly to the public. Can’t wait to see everyone at our upcoming Academic Bowl!
