Midway ISD Midway High School Panther Company cadets had a great time learning what policing is all about! A huge thank you to Assistant Chief Chavez and The Hewitt Police Department for taking time out of your busy schedule to work with and inspire our students.

Are leaders of character still out there?

A modern Stoic writer, Ryan Holiday, recently made a wonderful point: whether leaders of character still exist depends on whether we choose to be them.

That idea connects directly to what our cadets work on every day. Leadership doesn’t start with rank or position—it starts with habits like integrity, dependability, initiative, courage, and loyalty.

In JROTC, we believe leadership of character begins right here: in classrooms, on teams, in our community, and in how cadets take care of one another.

We’re proud of the young leaders who are choosing to live those values every day.

Congratulations to MSgt Lopez on his retirement from the Marine Corps after more than a quarter century of service. He has chosen to continue serving his country and community by developing a new generation of Americans into responsible and productive citizens. We are both excited and fortunate to have him at Midway ISD Midway High School Panther Company. One chapter ends and another begins.

Midway ISD Midway High School Panther Company cadets enjoyed their time learning about fire and EMS services at Waco Fire Department McLennan Community College Emergency Services Education Center. Thank you, Captains Weatherby and Manas, and everyone on the team, for a memorable and eye-opening experience!

Many thanks to Ms. Bean and her team at City of Waco - Public Information for hosting Midway ISD Midway High School MCJROTC cadets this afternoon at the Waco City Council Meeting and for giving us a tour of city hall! We have enjoyed learning about local governance and having the chance to see it in action. Next stop on the tour - the Hewitt Chamber of Commerce.

Special thanks to Gary Lee and Shauna from the Heart of Texas Bridge Gappers Chapter, Toast Masters International, for working with our cadets the last two months through their Youth Leadership Program. The cadets really enjoyed their time with you and improved their communications skills significantly!

Busy day for Midway ISD Midway High School Panther Company, ending with the colors presentation for the 1st Cavalry Division Christmas Concert.
