“The accomplishments reflect the cadets’ hard work, parent involvement, and the unwavering support of the school district. These accolades are significant accomplishments considering Beavercreek’s AFROTC program is only five years old and it is only the second time the teams participated in the event. Congratulations to both teams and the district!,” a spokesperson for Beavercreek City Schools said.
