“Army ROTC is a program that not only teaches and trains you to be a better person, but provides you the honor of serving in the United States Army and leading America’s finest citizens in the defense of country. Personally, I don’t think there is a more rewarding profession and I look forward to serving as an officer in the United States Army.”

Ranger Challenge

The Ranger Challenge is an opportunity for schools to "compete" with each other completing military tasks. In addition to a written examination where Cadets test their Army knowledge, there are physical fitness drills and field exercises. Battalions leave a Ranger Challenge with stronger bonds and sharper skills.

Pershing Rifles

The National Society of Pershing Rifles gives Army ROTC Cadets the opportunity to develop to the highest degree possible. Cadets can take part in precision trick rifle drill teams that provide them with the outstanding traits of leadership, military bearing and discipline.
