Special Announcements! 

​On October 25, 2024, U.S. Senator Dan Sullivan presented the prestigious Bronze Level Legion of Valor for Achievement to our Battalion's Cadet Command Sergeant Major (CSM) Isabella Iparraguirre. During a special ceremony held at the Annual WACKO Games, Anchorage School District Superintendent Dr. Bryantt and East High School's Assistant Principal Nichols joined alongside Senator Sullivan in presenting the award. Our Senior Army Instructor (SAI), Major Daniel R. Erskine, praised Iparraguirre's achievements, stating, "We have many amazing cadets, but this one is a clear standout amongst the very best that I expect will continue to contribute to her communities at a very high level."​

Isabella Iparraguirre's receipt of this award is a testament to her dedication, character, and bright future as a leader within her community. Some words Iparraguirre would like to share: "Work hard, do your job. Don't think you're better than everyone else, stay humble and you will get somewhere."

The Army JROTC program is free of charge to join the program. It is an elective and does not require any preauthorization's. Just be in relatively good health and have a positive mindset for participating in activities that will challenge your way of thinking and your way of being fit.

​

Uniforms, marksmanship and archery are all activities you will participate in. Being part of the many competition teams, we take part in, are available to all Cadets who are in good standing with their JROTC instructors and other teachers. We want you to be part of them all! These activities however are not free to do.​

​

Fees for competitions, travel to and from these competitions and of course FOOD, come with a price tag. ​​BE READY TO DO YOUR PART! We set up fundraising opportunities to take care of these things listed above. BE a willing member of the team and even if you are not on or in an activity, be a HERO and help get that teammate to the activity. For our parents and friends of JROTC, help us find a sponsor or two who may be interested in seeing these fine young people do great things.​
