First Trophy for MHS NJROTC!
In their first ever competition, out of 25 schools the MHS NJROTC unit finished 2nd in the 800 yard relay, bringing home the first trophy ever for the unit. The unit will participate in the NJROTC annual drill meet after school on September 24th at the Donaldson Center.
Mauldin High is the host of the newest Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps (NJROTC) in all of South and North Carolina which comprises the area, collectively know as NJROTC Area Six. The area opened one new unit for the 2009-2010 school year and Mauldin is that unit. It now stands as the sixty-seventh unit in the two state area. There were fewer than 20 units that will be opened for 2009-10 nation wide. Many schools try to establish these units for years without success. The fact that Mauldin High was picked as the site for this unit, speaks volumes and represents a large measure of confidence that the school will have a prosperous unit. And there is every reason to believe there will be a great unit at Mauldin. Lieutenant Commander Al Carden (Senior Instructor) and Master Chief Cliff Bailey (Naval Science Instructor) have been selected to be the instructors for the unit. Carden and Bailey are retired from active duty with well over 20 years of active duty each. Carden stated, “I was an instructor at Easley High School, as was my associate Master Chief Bailey. Easley is considered one of the best, if not the best unit in the two state area and the entire nation. It would have taken a special situation to convince us to leave what we had. We believe that Mauldin is that special situation. This unit has tremendous potential. With all the supportive parents, faculty and the outstanding students that this school has to offer, it was something both of us were attracted to immediately.”
NJROTC is a program that fosters citizenship, leadership, patriotism, teamwork, and more. The program includes classroom lecture, military drill/uniform, and physical training (PT). Participation in the program the first year provides a student with Physical Education credit required for graduation. Subsequent years in the program count as elective credit. The unit also offers after school competitive activities and will feature many field trips to military installations and more. Most materials needed for participation, such as military uniforms, are funded and provided by the U.S. Navy. Although the student does not incur any military obligation and the program is not a recruiting program, the student does benefit through advanced standing upon enlistment. Scholarships and service academy appointments are also available for those who qualify.
