Teams
Teams are an extracurricular activity and typically meet on school campus, but after school hours. Team participation is optional, but highly recommended as each cadet is required to either assist in a volunteer capacity or join a team.
Academic Team
Academic Team strengthens cadets' knowledge in a variety of academic topics. Using SAT and ACT test questions, members compete to answer questions quickly and correctly. Team members build leadership skills, strengthen knowledge, and improve their testing abilities.
