San Marcos High School’s JROTC Academic Team recently participated in the 2021-2022 JROTC Leadership & Academic Bowl (JLAB), and after advancing through two intense phases of online competition, earned a spot to compete in a Championship event in Washington, DC.
The 2022 U.S. Air Force JROTC Academic Bowl Championship will be held on the campus of The Catholic University of America, June 24-28, 2022. This event is sponsored by the U.S. Air Force JROTC and is conducted by the College Options Foundation.
San Marcos High School’s JROTC earned top scores out of the 582 Air Force JROTC academic teams that competed from around the world. The San Marcos High School team is one of only sixteen Air Force JROTC Academic Bowl teams in the nation to advance to the final competition, which includes an all-expense paid trip to Washington, DC.
During the two fast-paced preliminary rounds, cadets were tested on their knowledge of core curriculum such as math, science, and language arts as well as current events, citizenship, leadership skills, and financial literacy. Financial literacy videos are sponsored by the USAA Educational Foundation and provided to all cadets. Questions from the videos were included in Levels I and II of the online competition.
