Sedalia School District 200 has shown a commitment to the Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps over the years. A look at the program’s expanded classroom and training space at Smith-Cotton High School will attest to that.
The JROTC program consistently has attained a high level of success, but this year’s squad certainly has reached the pinnacle. The squad went to Molena, Ga., last weekend for the National Raider Challenge Championships and came out on top in competition against 63 other JROTC squads.
