Hi everyone! I’m c/LCDR Eden Carter, and I am the Commanding Officer (CO) for the 2025-2026 school year. In my time in JROTC, I have held positions of Color Guard Team commander, Company Commander, and Public Affairs Officer. I love meeting new people and working in team settings. As CO, I will be responsible for overseeing the success of our unit and supporting my triad and staff. Outside of JROTC, I work at a local Cuban bakery and have a black belt in mixed martial arts. I’m so excited to work with you all this year!

Hi everyone! I am c/LT Layla Hutchins, and I will be serving as this year’s Executive Officer (XO). As the XO, I am responsible for ensuring that all tasks within our unit staff are executed correctly, as well as maintaining adequate communication between each staff member and the triad. The role of the XO is quite administrative; weekly staff meetings are headed by myself (with the support of the remaining members of the triad). Ultimately, I am responsible for ensuring that the CO’s orders are followed by all, resulting in success for the overall battalion. Aside from XO, I have previously served as the battalion’s N-7, a Company Commander, Choir Team Leader, and an alpha for various staff positions. Some of my extracurriculars include singing, either in my free time or in Point Loma’s jazz ensemble, listening to music (particularly Laufey and ATEEZ), and working at my part-time job. After high school, I would like to pursue a degree in chemistry or biochemistry, either at a UC campus or somewhere relatively commutable. I am looking forward to meeting all of you, and I cannot wait to hit the ground running! 

Hello! I’m c/SCPO Do, otherwise known as your Senior Enlisted Leader (SEL). I’m not the best with introductions, but I’m hoping that you will have a wonderful-if not eventful-year with me, the XO, and the CO. For some personal flair, I am that one insane cat lady who is projected to have five of the furballs when I get wrinkly. If you get my contact, please send me some photos… In any case, I’m here if you want to talk art, philosophy, and anything that revolves around the depth of the universe. 

Welcome, I’m c/SCPO Alvin Wang, the Chief Master at Arms of Point Loma High School. I work with the Senior Enlisted Leader and Training Officer to maintain regulations and order within our unit.
