Elyria High School JROTC

EHS JROTC Cadets had the honor to present the National colors at Ely Square today for the Daughters of the American Revolution Nathan Perry Chapter’s Persian Gulf War pinning ceremony. The Cadets took time from their well deserved summer break to be a part of this ceremony.

Here are some more moments from JCLC that cadets shared with me. I am very proud of how hard they worked during this difficult week.

Summer Camp Update
Day Five- Awards presentation and final goodbyes to new friends made. This day is bitter sweet. The Cadets are exhausted and ready to go home. At the same time, they don’t want to leave because they will not see all the new friends they made. What a fantastic experience.

On a chilly morning, cadets conducted their physical training test, then they enjoyed their first breakfast of camp. I think they were hungry.

Tonight, we celebrated the EHS Class of 2026 with their graduation ceremony. This is a huge milestone, and we couldn't be prouder. We got to share it with current, former, and past cadets. What a great night for the Pioneer Battalion.
