District Cadets Give Younger Students a Presentation on Leadership, Service, and Community
ROOSEVELT, NEW YORK (MAY 2025)—JROTC cadets at Roosevelt High School in the Roosevelt School District inspired eighth-grade students at Roosevelt Middle School with a presentation about the core values of leadership, service, and mutual support. The engaging visit, held on May 22, offered younger students a glimpse into the commitment and character that define the JROTC experience.
“We are incredibly proud of our JROTC cadets for demonstrating the true spirit of leadership,” said Superintendent of Schools Dr. Shawn Wightman. “They not only represent the best of our school, but also serve as role models for the next generation.”
The cadets shared personal stories and insights on what it means to be part of a program that emphasizes discipline, community engagement and academic excellence. Their message resonated deeply with the middle schoolers, who are preparing to transition to high school in the coming months.
The District looks forward to welcoming many of these soon-to-be freshmen into Roosevelt High School next year, where they will have the opportunity to continue this proud tradition of excellence in uniform.
