Russellville JROTC Honor
Veterans and Recruits 8th Graders
This past Friday, the Russellville JROTC, in conjunction with Logan Co. JROTC, participated in a ceremony honoring local Veterans. The two schools which form a single JROTC unit presented arms and displayed several of their formational designs. In addition to this, through the efforts of RHS JROTC’s own Noah Brown, an effort to get 8th
graders involved has come to realization. Started last month, 8th
Graders interested in participating in JROTC are now able to travel to LCHS
with the RHS JROTC students once each month to participate in drill work,
formational expectations, and become generally inundated to the JROTC program.
