My message this year to our cadets.  WORK HARD every day so that you can become successful for you. Take your academics seriously.  Be the best you can and in the end, you will reap the rewards. And mostly enjoy your life because today is given to us, but tomorrow is not.
 
Let’s continue to work hard in the NJROTC Unit and go BACK-TO-BACK and get the Distinguish Unit.

Have a Blessed Year Cadets!

OORAH NAVY!!!!!
