Hillsborough High School
"Big Red"

The Krewe of Fort Brooke and the Hillsborough High School Junior R.O.T.C. have had a special relationship since the Krewe's inception in 1992.

The Hillsborough High School J.R.O.T.C. has participated in every major local parade as the Krewe's Honor Guard.


They dress in the military costumes of yesteryear, giving a lasting first impression as they lead the Krewe in today's parades. These young men and women, the trainees of today, represent the future, tomorrows military officers and civic leaders.

The Krewe of Fort Brooke is proud of these fine young men and women and it feels a need to make their road a little easier. Therefore, the Krewe holds an annual fundraiser to benefit the Hillsborough High School J.R.O.T.C..

to such a worthwhile organization.  Rob is now the first member of the Platinum Club.

The Krewe of Fort Brooke is especially grateful to
