TMI Color Guard will present our Nation's colors. Only forty-five schools nationwide offer a military program comparable to TMI's Corps of Cadets, which has been the designated an Honor Unit with Distinction. Special military teams have been a part of the TMI since 1895. Today the cadets maintain eight special teams which provide support to the community, while giving cadets additional leadership opportunities.
