Upcoming Events



The beginning of secondary education in Blythewood can be traced back to the early 1900s. Originally, this small town had two schools; they were closed in 1970, and the students were all transferred over to Spring Valley High School. Seven years ago with the opening of the new Blythewood High School, the legacy began, and has persevered to this day.

   Initially our ROTC program was scheduled to be aligned with the Marine Corps JROTC. Over the past three years our Battalion has grown tremendously with upwards of 350 cadets enrolled this year.



Committed to the mission of “Motivating Young People To Be Better Citizens,” our cadets have participated in numerous community events. These include: road side cleanup for the 2 miles of road in front of the school, Veteran of Foreign Wars Buddy Poppy Flower Collection, several performances by our drill team and color guard, an appearance on “Live With Lucas”, and successful battalion inspection where we earned the classification of Honor Unit With Distinction.

Currently:

On Wednesday March 14, 2012 The Bengal Battalion invited the Alive At 25 program come to conduct a class for around 20 cadets to learn how to be a defensive driver to try and save lives so more people can live past the age of 25 years old.

On April 25th the Think Fast game show came to Blythewood High School, and got the students involved with the game show and teaching them about the dangers out in the world such as drugs, alcohol, and teenage driving.

Our very own Color Guard had participated in the national meet in Daytona and placed 17th overall.

We are currently training our cadets to be ready and prepared for JCLC a summer camp for JROTC cadets.
