Durango High School's Air Force JROTC program placed first in the Clark County School District's drill meet, which was held in April, marking the sixth time the high school has won the competition in the last 10 years.

The showdown included all 16 Clark County institutions with an JROTC program, and is the biggest drill meet of the academic year, covering the color guard and both the unarmed and armed drill. Durango's program is led by retried Air Force Lt. Col. James McEvoy and retired Air Force Senior Master Sgt. Curtis Sweigart.
