The JROTC participates in many important events throughout the year, giving the students many opportunities to show their dedication to the program. At the end of the school year, the students are awarded for their achievements and the new commanding officer is announced.

This year’s Commanding Officer senior Marissa Samons passed down her title to junior George Emily for next year.

“I am so excited for next year,” said Colonel Ben Gipe. “Every year keeps getting better and better and I can’t wait to see what these cadets have in store.”
