🏆 SECOND IN THE NATION! 🦅

Congratulations to all our SMA Raiders who competed in the JROTC National Raider Challenge this past weekend at Fort Knox, Kentucky! A special shoutout to our SMA Mixed Team for earning 2nd place in the Challenge Division!

Nearly 4,000 cadets from across the country put their strength, endurance and teamwork to the test—tackling obstacle courses, running a 5k with their 35lb. ruck pack, applying their JROTC knowledge and building a one-rope bridge against the clock.

Behind every finish line are hours of training, personal sacrifice and a commitment to showing up for one another. Raiders, thank you for representing SMA with determination, grit and Eagle pride!

👏 Join us in congratulating our cadets and thanking the coaches and families who support them! Stay tuned for a LIVE presentation at formation.
