  Mr. VARGAS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Navy Junior 
Reserves Officers Training Corps (NJROTC) program at Calexico High 
School. This is the only NJROTC program in the Imperial Valley, CA.
   Calexico High School established a Navy National Defense Cadet Corp 
(NNDCC) program in August of 2016. The establishment of a NNDCC program 
at Calexico High School included coordination with the Naval Service 
Training Command and the NJROTC Director.
   On September 23, 2019, the Secretary of the Navy, approved Calexico 
High School's request to advance from an NNDCC unit to an NJROTC unit. 
There were 181 students enrolled as NJROTC cadets at this time.
