JROTC Newsletter

August 2021 Update

SY 21-22 provides an opportunity for the Cadets of the Pirate Battalion to involve themselves in many activities that due to pandemic constraints were not available last year. The Raider, Rifle and Drill teams are back in competition. Beginning this year the Pirate Battalion is developing a targeted service-learning campaign involving Elementary School partnerships. The Cadets will also partner with other JROTC programs in Community Service. The Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps has been a part of the Boca Ciega family for over 35 years. This year marks a new beginning for the forthcoming cadets who are interested in our program. This also is the beginning for our new SAI Major Lonnie Spangler a retired Veteran who we are happy to have on our team. So when you get a chance make sure you give a warm welcome as he becomes a member of our family. If there are any questions or concerns, please contact major Spangler at spanglerlo@pcsb.org for more information.
