2024 Change of Command/Awards Ceremony

On Saturday, 4 May 2024, the Raptors of ND-20061 held their 18th 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 2024 turned over the reigns of ND-20061 to the Class of 2025 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.
