The William Floyd High School Navy Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (NJROTC) recently conducted its Annual Military Inspection and Pass-in-Review under the guidance of Senior Chief Andrew DiDonato. The event began with a performance of “The Star-Spangled Banner” by the William Floyd High School Band and Drum Line.
This annual inspection evaluates the progress of NJROTC cadets in their military studies. Faculty, staff, and members of the Board of Education attended the event in the high school’s east gymnasium to observe and support the cadets as they participated in marching and drill exercises.
Cadets presented themselves before Commander Eric Humphreys, NJROTC Development Area Two Manager. According to the organizers, they “aced this evaluation with flying colors!”
