Summer Sale!

Good insight about life that's worth reflecting on: The first 25 years you measure success with grades, only to realize that the real value is in learning to learn and critical thinking. The second 25 years you measure success by how much money you have made, only to realize that how you spend your time and with whom, is most important. The third 25 years is by how many people you helped along the way. Did you leave everyone and everything better than when you found them? Do you have family and friends that love and care about you? #bearcatsunited

It's always an honor to witness the JROTC Change of Command each year. Thank you to those who have served in their position and best of luck to those serving next year! #thebearcatway #bearcatsunited
