Our JROTC cadets participated in the Veteran's Day parade in Goldsboro on Saturday. They looked great and represented our school well.
This afternoon, our Juniors and Seniors got the chance to attend the CACRAO College Fair. They were able to interact with representatives from colleges and universities all over North Carolina.
When you come to the Homecoming game tonight, take notice of the cleanliness of our football field. Our JROTC spent the day cleaning up trash around the football field and picked up 39 bags of trash. Thank you JROTC students and instructors for your hard work and taking pride in cleaning up our campus!
