Our campus has the only military JROTC program in the district. Our young Marine Corps cadets are an outstanding group of young men and women who not only represent our school within the community doing volunteer work, but also present Colors at each home football game for all three high schools in the district. Our cadets have competed at the national level for the last 3 years and place in the top 3 units in physical fitness on a consistant basis, with the girls' PT team dominating first place the last few years.

Various athletic teams are also successful within our district and often qualify for first and second round play-off seats.
