Self Discipline Over Self Esteem
On Friday, 21 February 2020, six cadets and three chaperones made the trip to Eastern Washington University in Cheney, Washington to compete in the 10th Annual Inland SeaPerch Underwater Robotics Competition. Five high schools and numerous middle schools were competing to earn a spot in the National SeaPerch Challenge at the University of Maryland in June. With two teams and two remotely operated vehicles in hand, Patriot Company earned both a first and second place finish in the Engineering Process and Technical Documentation portion of the competition and after three in-water competitions Patriot Company finished second overall, falling just short of qualifying of the National Challenge.
NJROTC had a very successful drill meet on Saturday and 2018-19 drill season overall. In addition to winning numerous awards at their last regular season meet of the year, they also brought home several Northwest Drill and Rifle Conference Puget Sound Division awards.
