For the last two years, these students have worked in the classroom and completed practical exercises to build knowledge and skills, preparing them to further their education in colleges and universities or enter the career field. The lessons learned in discipline, courage, and hard work will allow them to show #excellenceineverything in all of their future endeavors. Please join us in congratulating Cadet Class 13!
