High‑school JROTC cadet reports growth to 119 cadets and outlines activities
Summary
Alyssa Shriver, commander of the Sayreville War Memorial High School JROTC unit, told the board the program has grown to 119 cadets, described weekly training, recent community events and goals for the year, and thanked staff and volunteer partners.
At the board meeting, Alyssa Shriver, the corps commander for the high‑school JROTC unit (NJ‑20173), presented a detailed report on the program’s growth, activities and objectives.
Shriver said the unit now includes 119 cadets — 55 freshmen, 38 sophomores, 17 juniors and 12 seniors — and described the program’s weekly structure (academic days, uniform inspections, drill and physical training). She reviewed recent events, including color‑guard and veteran’s‑day support to neighboring schools, a ruck march, outreach service events, leadership retreats and planned drill competitions. Shriver said the program’s goals this year include increased academic achievement (targets for average grades), physical‑fitness gains and at least two middle‑school leadership visits and five fundraisers.
Why it matters: The JROTC program is a year‑round extracurricular that affects student leadership, school climate and community engagement; the board publicly acknowledged program success and thanked instructors and cadets.
What the board did: The board received the presentation, praised the cadets and staff, and noted plans for recognition and continued support. No formal action was required.
