This year, Justus-Tiawah partnered with Claremore School Navy's ROTC program to give our junior high students another elective opportunity. This amazing opportunity taught these students leadership, teamwork, and community service! With this program, they fly drones, present colors at ceremonies, practice their marksmanship skills, work on their physical fitness, and practice together doing drill team activities. Our cadets all received promotions to Seaman and have participated in many hours of community service. We are all very proud of these Wildcats and their accomplishments!
