2023 Change of Command/Awards Ceremony

On Saturday, 13 May 2023, the Raptors of ND-20061 held  their 17th Annual Change of Command Parade and Awards Ceremony at Fargo South High School. Over 200 parents and guests attended the two ceremonies. The guests were treated to a formal Military Change of Command Parade where the Class of 2023 turned over the reigns of ND-20061 to the Class of 2024 followed by a pass-in-review by the entire Cadet Corps. In addition, the unarmed and armed exhibition teams performed for the attendees.

Following the Change of Command Parade, nineteen National Awards and several local awards were presented to cadets. A list of the National Award winners is provided below. The 2023 winner of the William Muscha Award was Cadet Justyce Johnson.  A special thanks to the Parents Group for the cake and refreshments between the ceremonies.
