HUGE NEWS FOR MASCOUTAH AFJROTC
The cadets of Mascoutah Air Force JROTC IL-20083 have once again earned the prestigious Distinguished Unit with Merit Award for the SECOND YEAR IN A ROW — one of the highest honors an AFJROTC unit can receive nationwide!
This incredible achievement comes after the corps earned a perfect 100/100 score on their official Unit Evaluation while also completing an outstanding 2,800+ hours of community service throughout the school year. From leadership and academics to service and discipline, these cadets continue to set the standard for excellence.
Receiving this award is extremely difficult. Earning it in consecutive years places IL-20083 among an elite group of programs across the country and reflects the relentless dedication, professionalism, and teamwork demonstrated by our cadets every single day.
This accomplishment would not be possible without the support of our school district, parents, community partners, and everyone who continues to believe in the mission of developing citizens of character dedicated to serving their nation and community.
Congratulations to every cadet, student leader, and instructor who made this historic accomplishment possible. The tradition of excellence continues at Mascoutah!
