Cadets Ebony Hinton, Kimberly Mason and Daniel Mizzell recently completed the Navy JROTC’s Leadership Academy. The annual academy was hosted by Costal Carolina University and run by NJROTC’s Area 6, which includes more than 65 units in North and South Carolina. The academy uses training, teamwork and camaraderie to turn the high school juniors into senior leaders. During the week, the cadets are divided into multiple platoons and participate in events such as physical training, uniform and room inspections and a drill competition.

The cadets ended the week with a graduation ceremony during which they received a silver shoulder cord to wear on their uniforms, signifying the completion of the leadership academy. The Navy JROTC has more than 600 NJROTC units worldwide.

NJROTC is a citizenship program that instills service to the United States, personal responsibility and a sense of accomplishment in students in United States secondary educational institutions. If you’re interested in enrolling your son or daughter in Summerville High School’s Navy JROTC Unit this school year, please contact the instructors Colonel Claude Davis, Master Chief Carson Burgess or Master Chief Gardner LaMarche at (843) 832-7861.
