Today was the first official dress day for our newest group of student cadets. We were able to catch a few of them in their dress blues this morning. Wilbur decided he needed to jump in the picture too! A huge thank you to SGT Gavin for all he has done to establish and grow the program.

Congratulations to our Central Hardin JROTC cadets on the scholarships!

Welcome to ! A pillar of Army JROTC is encouraging cadets to explore their opportunities beyond high school. JROTC is an excellent resume builder and can lead to scholarships for those who choose to pursue post-secondary opportunities like college or vocational school.

Three graduating cadets in Elizabethtown, Kentucky will have some help along their chosen paths, thanks to scholarships from the local Rotary Club. Cadets Donnie Cooper, Christopher Fields, and Gavin Nalley (L to R in the above photo) each received a $500 scholarship from the Elizabethtown Rotary Club at a recent ceremony.

Christopher Fields has been in JROTC for all four years of high school. He plans to study aviation at Eastern Kentucky University, with the hope of one day becoming a commercial airline pilot.

Gavin Nalley plans to study electrical engineering and join his university's ROTC program, hoping to become a commissioned officer someday.

Donnie Cooper has enlisted as an infantryman in the United States Marine Corps, and will soon ship out to basic training.

Congratulations to these scholarship recipients, and best of luck to you in your bright future!

Have a cadet who has earned a scholarship through volunteer work or academic excellence? Send us a message and you may seem them highlighted next!
