San Benito High School Njrotc Unit

Congratulations to our 6 upper-level Navy JROTC cadets (Melanie Balli, Jose Contreras, Diego Garcia, Benito Lopez, Alan Miranda, and Penelope Ruiz) and our 8 first-year cadets (Julio Cerda, Andy Garcia, Jocelyn Herrera, Jaziel Lerma, Erick Leyva, Jenealle Munoz, Emma Sarabia, and Jose Trejo) who recently completed the South Texas Leadership Academy (LA) from 1-5 June and the South Texas Basic Leadership Training (BLT) Camp from 8-11 June at the University of Texas at Kingsville. In addition, awesome job to our 3 Cadet Graduate Assistants (GAs) (Heber Hernandez, Migdalia Morales, and David Soto) who led the BLT cadets from the front the entire week. During this time, along with over 450 cadets from 26 different high schools across Texas, our cadets experienced different levels of multiple leadership, water survival, and land orienteering classes as well as physical fitness, close-order drill, sword manual, and uniform inspections. Job well done and GO LIBERTY HOUNDS!!! San Benito CISD San Benito High School San Benito Schools CCMR
