SANDPOINT — This September, Sandpoint High School will join a small contingent of Idaho schools hosting a Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps program designed to promote leadership and responsibility and offer students a pathway to military service.
SHS staff had completed the paperwork to finalize the program Feb. 18. Next year, students will be able to enroll in the course as a free elective and progress through the four-year program over the course of their high school tenure.
“It was three years in the making, so I’m thrilled to see this come to fruition,” said SHS principal Jacki Crossingham. “We’re grateful to have another program here that will help our students succeed.”
