Manual JROTC has received Honors Unit with Distinction

 On Wednesday, March 2nd, 2022, the Manual High School army JROTC program went through a JPA (JROTC Program for Accreditation) visit. As an accredited Special Purpose Program, JROTC must adhere to AdvancED's ( a national accrediting program that has been accrediting army JROTC for 17 years) Standard for Quality. This inspection occurs every three years for every JROTC program. There were 6 main sections of the evaluation: an in-rank uniform inspection of all cadets, a cadet JROTC evaluation, Drill team and Color Guard performance , a profilio interview of 10 randomly selected cadets, an instructor profilio interview, a briefing on the Cadet Service Learning project, and a presentation of the Battalion Staff improvement project. 

At the end of the day, the battalion was presented with their score , and received the highest award possible for their efforts, Honor Unit with Distinction, which is the highest rating an Amry High School JROTC program can receive. A very special thanks to every cadet and all those who support them as well as the program. Without their hard work and effort over the past year, none of this would have been possible.
