Albany High JROTC

The Albany JROTC Cadets had a busy weekend this past weekend, presenting the National Colors at all three Monster Jam shows at MVP Arena. There were two shows on Saturday and one show on Sunday.

This past Wednesday 12 February 2025 we took 29 Cadets to Griffis Research Institute for information about the facility and what they do for the country and to tour the facility. The Cadets had a great time and thank to UAlbany and the Griffiss Institute for providing this excellent opportunity with lunch to our younger generation.

The first week of December was a busy one for the cadets of the SGT Henry Johnson Battalion. On Monday they attended the Honor A Vet Ceremony at the North Albany American :egion Post and learned about the life of Harold Louis Gauthier who served in the United States Navy from August 16, 1945 to August 21, 1946 in the Pacific Theater. On Thursday, 35 cadets braved the cold and participated in the Albany Tree Lighting Ceremony. The following night, Friday, eight cadets assisted the Woman’s Club of Albany with their annual Holiday gathering. They capped the week off on Saturday morning when 35 cadets participated in the Zaloga American Legion Post, Pearl Harbor Remembrance Ceremony. At every event the cadets met community and national leaders. Most importantly they met numerous veterans and learned about their service to the Nation.
