Value-added in JROTC

An oft under-represented program in our community / school discussions is the JROTC (Junior Reserve Officer Training Corp) that is provided at 4 of our high schools with 4 of the service groups (i.e., Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines). These groups have dramatic impact on our students / cadets as they are assisted with discipline and training that is supportive of healthy lifestyles and improved academic performance.

I saw one more example of that type of commitment and performance on Friday night with Poly HS JROTC Military Ball (i.e., 95th Annual) at the Riverside Convention Center. The event was attended by 190 uniformed cadets and their dates. There was a formal receiving line, introductions, toasts, traditions, etiquette, and a speech from visiting Major Sagona, etc. – ALL of which was run by the senior cadets.

Nicely done Major Dominguez and Poly Bear Cadets.
