Twenty-eight schools throughout the United States competed at the 2012 Air Force Junior ROTC National Drill Championship on March 17 in Macon, Ga., but it was three Northside Air Force Junior ROTC programs — from Brandeis, Clark and Jay high schools — that won the majority of trophies and all four titles.
Of the 28 trophies on display in each division, NISD's armed teams won 21 trophies, the championship and the top four spots. NISD unarmed teams won 16 trophies, the championship and the top three spots.
Maj. Donald Shackelford, the senior aerospace science instructor at Clark High School, reported “A cadet from another competing school was asked by his instructor, ‘What happened? Last year, we did well. This year, we didn't win anything.'
The cadet's response was, “Sir, Texas showed up.”
“We congratulate the cadets and instructors for their outstanding performances. Hard work and dedication always pay big dividends,” Shackelford added.
