Spring Semester, 2011
This semester the cadet leadership is again being led by Warren Pettee, who has offered these words on the outlook for the spring semester:
"This school year has seen vast amounts of progress in corps leadership.
Primarily focus has been set on corps communication and creating effective strategies for success. Because of the cumulative efforts of the corps, our unit
is again expecting to achieve its unit goals this year, making the corps eligible for the award of Distiguished Unit with Merit. Service to the community will remain a priority, and we will always be open to service opportunities. While progress in our leadership has been great, it is clear that attention will need to be set on fundraising to support cadet activities for the future."
- C/Col Warren Pettee
This Saturday, March 26, the unit honor guard will once again be competing at the Capital Drill Meet at Sanderson High School, just outside Raleigh. Last semester the honor guard brought back first place overall at the West-Montgomery Drill Meet under Ian Dunbar's leadership, and the honor guard is ready to do well again at this competition under cadet Emily Connor. Parents and friends are welcome to come out and support the honor guard.
