These achievements wouldn’t be possible without the tireless efforts of our JROTC instructors, the hard work of our cadets, and the unwavering support of families and school leaders.
Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN, Texas – (RICHARDSON, TX) International Leadership of Texas, the free public K-12 charter school, is proud to share that five of our high school Marine Corps JROTC (MJROTC) have earned the prestigious Naval Honor School recognition, which recognizes the top 20% programs in the nation.

With the Naval Honor School designation comes the ability for each program’s Senior Marine Instructor to nominate 6 cadets to the U.S. Naval Academy, three cadets to the U.S. Air Force Academy, and three to U.S. Military Academy at West Point.
The MCJROTC program mission is to develop courageous, character driven young adults who possess the attributes of personal responsibility and accountability in order to become model citizens in service to the United States.
In addition to Naval Honor School, Aggieland High School received the Marine Corps Reserve Association’s Outstanding Unit Award which recognizes the #1 school in the country in their category (based on school size).
These honors are a tremendous testament to the hard work, commitment, and dedication of each respective program’s cadets and instructors.
