Central Catholic High School Army JROTC is heading back to Daytona Beach, Florida for The National Drill Competition with the goal of achieving a remarkable 3-peat of the National Title! The journey to Nationals has been nothing short of extraordinary:

  • The Armed Color Guard secured the prestigious 1st place.
  • The Armed Exhibition team impressed the judges and claimed an impressive 2nd place.
  • In the Armed Inspection category, the team showcased their exceptional discipline and earned the well-deserved 3rd place.
  • The Armed Regulation team showcased their precision and ranked an admirable 4th place.

Finally, we proudly announce that our overall Armed Competition performance earned us the coveted 1st place, representing the 5th Brigade in 2024!

These achievements highlight the dedication, countless hours of practice, and exceptional teamwork displayed by our JROTC Cadets. Their commitment to excellence has played a pivotal role in our continued success.

As we prepare for The National Drill Competition, we are filled with pride and confidence in our JROTC team. Let’s rally behind them and cheer them on as they strive to secure our National Title for the third consecutive year!

Best wishes and congratulations to our JROTC Cadets as they represent our school with pride in The National Drill Competition
