Purpose:
The purpose of the Flag Corps of Horseshoe Trails Elementary School is to raise and lower the American flag  and the State of Arizona flag when school is in session, weather permitting.  It is an honor to be a member of Flag Corps.  Being involved in the flag detail allows us to take time to reflect on the contributions of others.  There is a lot of pride in being a part of the tradition every day of raising and lowering the flag.

Bylaws:
1.     Flag Corps is responsible for raising and lowering the flags.
2.     Flag Corps members are students of good character, actively representing our HTES TRRFCC character program.
3.     Flag Corps members offer flag facts and education about the flags to all HTES students, including information honoring citizens who have been designated to have the flags flown at half-staff.  Every class is welcome to raise the flags with Flag Corps, and share in the responsibility.
4.     Flag Corps members are available for Flag ceremonies at HTES, and available for Flag ceremonies in the Cave Creek Unified School District.
