"The Panther Air Wing"
The Panther Air Wing, NV-20012, and our Cadet Corps of 150+ have hit the ground running for the 2025-2026 school year. Our Cadet Corps prides itself on elevating our school, community and nation. Panther Air Wing Cadets Aim High and are steadfast in their commitment to our core values of – “Integrity First, Service Before Self and Excellence in All We Do.” We will continue our tradition of giving back to the community, strengthening partnerships with our feeder schools and community organizations such as the Food Bank of Northern Nevada, the Reno-Tahoe International Airport, the Reno Elks Club, and we will forge new partnerships with the Veterans Administration and the Veterans Guest House. The Panther Air Wing takes great pride in the success of our competition teams, which include, Cyber Patriot, Drill, Marksmanship, Raider, and Drone. We will continue our partnerships with local aviation organizations such as Women in Aviation, the Nevada Civil Air Patrol, and the Nevada Air National Guard, who provide our Cadets with the unique opportunity to soar high above Reno and the surrounding areas. Finally, we will continue to strengthen the tight bonds that exist within our Corps of Cadets and build friendships and memories that last a lifetime. Through these activities, the Panther Air Wing will continue to, “develop citizens of character” and provide our Nation with its future leaders.
FLY-FIGHT-WIN!
