On Wednesday, November 10, the Mount Miguel High School JROTC held its 21st Annual Veteran’s Day Ceremony. More than 175 JROTC Cadets participated in the ceremony honoring all military personnel who have served our country throughout history.

The ceremony began at 6:40 a.m. and included the raising of the flag, and playing of the National Anthem by the school band. The Corps of Cadets conducted appropriate ceremonial procedures, marched in formation and the Flag Detail raised the flag in conjunction with the playing of Reveille.
 

“The Grossmont Union High School District is very proud of the distinguished legacy Senior Army Instructor Major John E. Bachmann has brought to this program,” said District spokesperson Catherine Martin. “The trophies that fill his classroom tell the story.”
 

Last June, the Mount Miguel High School JROTC leadership team was selected as one of only 48 in the nation to advance to the 2010 Army JROTC Leadership Symposium in Washington, DC. The event was sponsored by the Army JROTC and conducted by the College Options Foundation. “The team performed brilliantly and was selected to participate in a marketing project to encourage other students to get involved in college/career opportunities,” Martin said.
