Decatur High School- Decatur, Al

JROTC from the Decatur High School Red Raider Battalion took to the skies at Smith Lake Zipline Aerial Adventures for some high-flying adventure training!
Proving that they are always ready to face a challenge, every single cadet successfully completed three intense ziplines. This included facing the ultimate test of courage: the massive Super Zip, stretching a breathtaking 3,100 feet long!
Thanks to their grit, determination, and teamwork, all participating cadets officially pushed past their comfort zones and earned their well-deserved Rappelling Arc pin.
Join us in congratulating these outstanding cadets for executing a safe, thrilling, and successful training mission! Way to lead the way, Red Raiders!
