Congratulations to the Haughton High School Air Force JROTC Marksmanship Team seniors, Emily Wood and Erin Rigsby, on being selected as recipients of prestigious Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) scholarships for the 2026-2027 academic year! Each cadet earned a $3,000 scholarship, marking the first time members of the Haughton team have received this outstanding honor.

The CMP Scholarship Program recognizes high school seniors who demonstrate exceptional academic achievement, leadership, and dedication through marksmanship training and competition. Being chosen for this scholarship reflects Emily and Erin’s hard work, commitment, and impressive record of accomplishments both on and off the range.

Adding to the celebration, Emily Wood was also awarded a $3,500 Academic Excellence Scholarship from the Ark-La-Tex Military Officers Association of America (MOAA). This scholarship honors her outstanding academic performance, leadership, earned honors, and active involvement in both school and community throughout her time as a Haughton Air Force JROTC cadet.

We are incredibly proud of these remarkable young women and all they have achieved. Way to go, Bucs in Blue! 💙🇺🇸
