    57th Battalion Commander: C/Lieutenant Colonel Omar Hurtado

    We will make this the best year our Cadets have been able to experience in recent memory.

    We will maintain our retaining and recruiting efforts. Our plan is to change the way students view JROTC by advertising in classes that offer the credits that JROTC also offers (PE, Health), to tell them the benefits of joining, and let them know why we enjoy it. We will also visit rising ninth graders at our feeder middle schools.

    We want our Cadets to have fun while also helping our community. We will be telling our Cadets about the extracurriculars and competitions they can compete in within those extracurriculars, which includes rifle team, drones, and color guard. We will have PT days where we will play games and do team-building activities. We will be participating in community service activities, such as the rib cook-off, and the trunk or treat at Robert Mitchell. We will also participate in a service-learning project that helps the preschoolers in different areas such as, social emotional, STEAM, and literacy. We hope this will be a good learning opportunity for all the cadets within the Ironhorse Battalion.

    Our goal is that giving our Cadets fun opportunities, they’ll be better citizens and enjoy participating in JROTC. We are excited to participate in activities, events, and competitions. Our battalion is ready to partake in the opportunities given this year. We want our cadets to do well in their classes, have fun, and serve their community. We have a strong group of LET 2’s, 3’s, and 4’s that we know will be an amazing example and help our freshmen grow into more confident leaders that will do their best.
