RHS JROTC Awards
To share some year-end results as we just got back from our District Awards ceremony.
In addition to cadet of the year and runner up this year the Hornet Battalion got word today
they scored above a 96 on our inspection this year earning the Honor Unit with Distinction. This is the big inspection we get once every three to four years. Furthermore this is the new inspection system in which the mark for HUD was raised from scoring a 90 to scoring a 96. Across the board, everyone was advised not to expect to achieve HUD with the new system. The kids hit it out of the park.
Also, to add on—the Hornet Battalion was awarded the academic streamer for the top Battalion in the District with JROTC academics. …still not done… next step the leadership team competing at nationals in Washington DC the end of June.
