Western Alamance High School’s NJROTC has received the Navy Distinguished Unit Award for the ninth consecutive year. This award is the highest unit recognition and is awarded by the Navy JROTC Area Manager for exceptional performance. Western Alamance High School NJROTC was 1 of only 20 units in North and South Carolina to receive this award (1 of 11 in North Carolina).
The award recognizes well-rounded units that excel in what they offer and in what they expect from their students. This honor recognized exceptional performance in inspection, community service hours, cadet participation in events, college scholarships earned by cadets, academic standing of cadets, results of competitive meets, and much more.
There are a total of 66 NJROTC Units in both North Carolina and South Carolina.
“This is another testament to the unit’s top performance and how it is a cornerstone for students to learn how to be leaders, whether in the classroom or outside of school,” said Master Chief Rod Butler, USN.
