La Cueva High School

For the third year, the La Cueva MCJROTC, under the direction of 1st Sgt Alberto Griego and GySgt Oliver Rodriguez, has been named a Marine Corps Reserve Association Naval Honor School! This is a huge honor as the Commanding General only recognizes the top units in each region.

The selection is based on several criteria including an annual inspection,  the number of community service hours, the number of organizations assisted by the unit and scholastic achievements including the number of academic awards and scholarships given to cadets.

The units also are measured by participation in extracurricular events including drill team competitions, rifle team competitions and physical fitness team competitions.

Because of this status, the La Cueva unit will have the opportunity to send nominations to the U.S. Naval Academy, U.S. Air Force Academy and the Military Academy at West Point.
