🇺🇸 🫡 🎖️Eight cadets from T.C. Roberson High School took on a week of grit, growth, and leadership at the Air Force Junior ROTC’s Blue Ridge Challenge Cadet Leadership Course (CLC), held June 15-20 at East Carolina University.
Selected as some of the best and brightest from NC-805, this marks the first time since 2016 that T.C. Roberson has sent students to a CLC. The program included early-morning workouts, team-building challenges, leadership drills, and even a hands-on robotics demo with U.S. Army bomb equipment- all completed without phones, laptops, or smartwatches.
Among the nearly 200 cadets from 14 southeastern schools, T.C. Roberson stood out:
-Luisa Cano Lamprea and Jennifer Valladares Childers were named Most Improved Cadets
-Samuel Moore earned both Top Flight Cadet and Highest Academic Average
-Kayden Roberts won Most Sit-Ups in 1 Minute- Female
All eight TCR cadets- Benjamin Benton, Joshua Campa Escobedo, Luisa Cano Lamprea, Samuel Moore, Kayden Roberts, Carter Starke, Jennifer Valladares Childers, and Madison Weaver- graduated the course and earned ribbons for leadership and orienteering.
