Recently, the MCJROTC Headquarters in Quantico, Virginia, named their Naval Honor School designees.  Naval Honor School recognizes the top 20% of MCJROTC programs in the nation.  International Leadership of Texas had five of its seven high schools earn this prestigious designation.

With the Naval Honor School designation comes the ability for each program’s Senior Marine Instructor to nominate 6 cadets to the U.S. Naval Academy, three cadets to the U.S. Air Force Academy, and three to U.S. Military Academy at West Point. 

In addition to Naval Honor School, Aggieland High School received the Marine Corps Reserve Association’s Outstanding Unit Award which recognizes the #1 school in the country in their category (based on school size).

These honors are a tremendous testament to the hard work, commitment, and dedication of each respective program’s cadets and instructors.  Across all campuses last year, the ILTexas MCJROTC cadets performed 33,507 hours of community service, supported 140 community events with color guards, competed in 157 events, and participated in 189 extracurricular events (field trips, guest speakers, leadership camps, etc.). The senior MCJROTC cadets earned $39.4 million in scholarships. We are excited to see what these phenomenal cadets will do this upcoming school year.

Congratulations to our award-winning campuses:

• ILTexas Garland High School – Naval Honor School for the fourth year in a row!

• ILTexas AGPHS – Naval Honor School for the second time.

• ILTexas KWPHS – Naval Honor School for the first time.

• ILTexas WLOHS – Naval Honor School for the first time.

• ILTexas Aggieland High School – Naval Honor School in their first year as a program, and recipient of the Marine Corps Reserve Association Outstanding Unit Award, presented to the top school in their category nationwide.

The Naval Honor School designation reflects exceptional performance in academics, leadership, community service, and military proficiency. These achievements wouldn’t be possible without the tireless efforts of our JROTC instructors, the hard work of our cadets, and the unwavering support of families and school leaders. Achieving this status allows schools to nominate students to prestigious institutions like the Naval Academy, Air Force Academy, and West Point. 

Bravo Zulu to our instructors and cadets — you make ILTexas proud!
