2023 Nationals Spirit Award Winner - Bob Jones HS
Spirit Award Winner

Every year at the NHSDTC, SNI selects a single school that epitomizes the hard work, excellence in the face of adversity, overall champion spirit and glorification of drill & JROTC to reign as the Nationals Spirit Award winner for the following school year. For the 2023-2024 school year, the school selected was the pace-setting AFJROTC Bob Jones High School in Madison, Alabama.

Their overall excellence jumps off the page at even the most cursory glance. Of course, the AFJROTC Distinguished Unit Award with Merit grabs your attention. But they also compete at a high level within Drill, Archery, Marksmanship, Physical Fitness, Orienteering, and CyberPatriot in over two dozen national and regional events. Their demeanor and the way they do business in the classroom, volunteering in their community, or performing on the drill field, frankly anywhere, the program simply transcends goodness into greatness. They also faced many challenges attending this year and moved mountains to make sure that the deserving cadets were able to shine. Their efforts made our choice an easy one. Please join SNI in congratulating this top program which continues to set the standard of overall excellence and embodies the JROTC Spirit.

EVERY JROTC IN THE PAST FEW YEARS HAS FACED ADVERSITY but Bob Jones truly exemplifies how NOTHING can stand in the way of a great program with great leadership! See the hill, TAKE THE HILL! But that is how truly outstanding programs deal with any of their issues over the years. Is there a problem? Well, let's see how we can solve it - and learn from it. We could ALL learn a lot from this program in many ways!

A true HONOR to have the ability to recognize this amazing group as our 2023 Spirit Award winner!
