Following two online rounds of rigorous competition against 2,007 teams from all over the world, East Union High School’s JROTC Academic Team has secured a coveted spot in the national Championship event this summer in Washington, D.C.

The team is comprised of Brian Aluy, Alexander Huffman, Nihar Jain, and Simreet Gill,

The preliminary rounds, marked by their intensity and speed, assessed cadets on a range of subjects including core curriculum such as math, science, and language arts. It also includes evaluations of their grasp on current events, citizenship, leadership skills, and financial literacy.

Their achievement places them among the elite 32 Army JROTC Academic teams in the nation, earning them an all-expense paid trip to the Championship event in June.

 East Union is one of only two teams that qualified to represent California on the national stage.

The JROTC Leadership & Academic Bowl is a nationally recognized competition tailored exclusively for JROTC students. Through participation, cadets absorb the values of citizenship, engage in academic rivalry, and explore avenues for college opportunities.
