Your McDowell High School NJROTC wishesto share our Happy Birthday wishes to the United States Navy in honor of its 251st Birthday!

A 13 October 1775 resolution of the Continental Congress established what is now the United States Navy with “a swift sailing vessel, to carry ten carriage guns, and a proportionable number of swivels, with eighty men, be fitted, with all possible despatch, for a cruise of three months….” After the American War of Independence, the U.S. Constitution empowered the new Congress “to provide and maintain a navy.” Acting on this authority, Congress established the Department of the Navy on 30 April 1798.

In 1972, Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Elmo R. Zumwalt authorized official recognition of 13 October as the birthday of the U.S. Navy. Since then, each CNO has encouraged a Navy-wide celebration of this occasion “to enhance a greater appreciation of our Navy heritage, and to provide a positive influence toward pride and professionalism in the naval service.”

"You have enemies? Good. That means you stood up for something, sometime in your life."-Victor Hugo

In class, we are engaging in discourse about case studies centered on The Constitution!

Be forever a student and be ready to stand for something.

Push yourself like a Titan.

Every class did at least 1.25 miles today. They had to move at the NSI's pace, had to move in two columns, and had to keep four water jugs at the front of the columns.

The average student would moan and groan. These Titans asked for more!

They wanted to keep going. They ran towards cadets that needed a break. They asked for more challenges, including the NSI's pack!

Beyond comfort is where you will find progress. Push yourself!

Field Day Fridays

Our janitors at MHS are awesome. We appreciate their consistent hard work. We got the ROTC classroom!

We instill cleanliness, teamwork, and responsibility by having cadets clean up our own spaces.

Dating back to the MHS NJROTC Car Show, the grand prize of $500.00 off a set of tires from Baker Tire, Marion - which was donated by Baker Tire- was won by Derek and Arley Smith, who own Derek's Muffler and Auto Repair, and went to work to re-raffle the raffle, so to speak. We received a check in the amount of $1000.00 from Derek's Muffler and Auto Repair!

We would like to thank all of the sponsors, Mr. Paul Baker, and to highlight and send our thanks to Derek and Arley for this effort! We truly appreciate their generosity with this donation and for all their support.

Pictured here are the Unit CO, XO, and CMC, accepting the check on behalf of MHS NJROTC!

"If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking." -Gen. Patton

Ask questions! Say the weird thing! Question what is going on!

Groupthinking bias is dangerous. Critical thinking is not only what makes individuals unique, it is what holds those around us accountable. A good leader can explain why a plan is actionable.

Today, we did a lab based on the game Stratego. Uncertainty, groupthink, and leadership were all factors.
