Every Thursday after school, cadets gather for Company Formation, a tradition that recognizes the individuals and platoons who have stood out through their effort, performance, and commitment to excellence throughout the week.
At Thunderbird, we believe exceeding the standard deserves to be recognized. These banners and awards celebrate achievement across every aspect of cadet life, from academics and leadership to physical fitness and teamwork.
🏅 Most Valuable Cadet (MVC) – Selected by our counselors to recognize a cadet who demonstrates outstanding leadership and exemplifies Thunderbird's core values.
📚 Learner of the Week (LOW) – Selected by our teachers to honor a student who consistently demonstrates strong effort, positive behavior, and serves as a role model in the classroom.
🏫 Academics Banner (+ Rubber Duck) – Awarded to the learning group that best demonstrates academic excellence, commitment to learning, and positive classroom behavior.
🛡️ Supply Shield – Awarded to the platoon with the fewest lost or damaged supply items.
🛏️ Barracks Banner – Awarded for the highest barracks inspection score, considering cleanliness, order, and attention to detail.
💪 PT Banner – Awarded to the top-performing platoon in Physical Training.
🎖️ D&C Banner – Awarded to the platoon that excels in Drill & Ceremony.
🗣️ Spirit Banner – Awarded for the best cadence performed during Pass and Review, recognizing precision, coordination, and spirit.
👊 Heavyweight Belt – Awarded to the platoon that earns the most banners for the week.
Every banner is not always awarded each week, and any given platoon is never guaranteed to earn one. Stay tuned next week to see who rises to the challenge for Cycle 67's first Company Formation! ... See MoreSee Less

Academic Excellence is an important core component at Thunderbird. It is fostered through a supportive school environment that helps cadets with GED attainment, high school graduation, and high school credit recovery through our partnership with Epic Charter Schools. The education cadets receive at TCP ultimately helps build a solid foundation for their futures. ... See MoreSee Less
