Brigade Leaders for the Mobile County Public Schools JROTC program were selected. These students were honored at promotion ceremonies at their respective schools.

Selected through a rigorous process, these students’ duties will include organizing events for JROTC units around the county this school year. They are:

• Cadet Brigade Commander: C/LTC Mercedes English of Murphy High School
• Cadet Command Sergeant Major: C/CSM Zericka McWilliams of MGM High School
• Cadet Deputy Brigade Commander: C/LTC Hannah Watson Holmes of Bryant High School
• Cadet Brigade Operations Officer: C/LTC AnnJene Sanders of LeFlore High School
• Cadet Brigade Logistics Officer: C/LTC Jayvonne Allen of Theodore High School

“It’s about citizenship; it’s about character development; it’s about helping each student to figure out what they want to be in life,” said LTC Chevelle Thomas, Director of Army Instruction.

 These remarkable students were selected by the JROTC Brigade Cadet Command Selection Board.

The JROTC Cadet Selection Board process is one of many programs at MCPSS that helps prepare students to become college and career ready.
