Flint - Students and staff of the Genesee Intermediate School District (GISD) are excited to congratulate the Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (JROTC) cadets at the Genesee Career Institute on winning big in state and regional competitions. Cadets enrolled in the JROTC program at the Genesee Career Institute (GCI) competed in the State of Michigan Drill Championship as the Black Knight Drill team. They won first place for the fourth consecutive year! Nineteen schools from across the state gathered at the Detroit Light Guard Armory to determine who is best. GCI cadets won the Platoon and Squad divisions, as well as the inspection.

The team also placed fourth in Color Guard and third in the First-year cadet events. And Cadet Connor Henry (Genesee Early College) also won the Individual Drill Competition. The students were proud to be awarded for their work, but some say the team’s success has a deeper meaning.
