Woodstock HS JROTC Cadet Wins Major Scholarship

From CCSD: A Woodstock High School Junior ROTC student has earned a major university scholarship!

Navy JROTC Commanding Officer Katlyn Deveau has been awarded a Marine Corps Scholarship to The Citadel worth approximately $183,000. The Citadel, also known as The Military College of South Carolina, is one of six senior military colleges in the United States. Students, who are known as Cadets, undergo four years of ROTC training in a branch of the armed services. Approximately 30% of Cadets graduate as commissioned officers.

Katlyn in August was awarded the prestigious Legion of Valor Award, the highest honor a Junior ROTC cadet can receive! During the ceremony held earlier this year, she also was presented the Cadet Achievement ribbon for outstanding performance as a cadre at Area 12 Leadership Academy.
