The following cadets were recipients of the following civic organization awards:

-Sons of the American Revolution: Cadet Gunnery Sergeant Tristan Sherwood for his dedication to the ideals of our Founding Fathers by his superior academic and leadership record. Tristan has earned a 4.0 grade point average and is also a strong contender to be one of the co-captains for next school year’s football team.

The cadets will not rest on their laurels.
