          CELEBRATING THE LIVE OAKS CAREER CENTER JROTC CADETS

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. BRAD R. WENSTRUP

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, January 12, 2024

  Mr. WENSTRUP. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the hard work 
and dedication of the Live Oaks Career Center JROTC Cadets. Beginning 
as a local Army JROTC program in 1993 to teach high school students 
leadership and citizenship classes, the Live Oaks JROTC program has 
evolved into a nationally recognized leadership and citizenship 
program.
  This year, three teams of Live Oaks JROTC Cadets competed against 216 
other teams in the U.S. Army Cadet Command Junior ROTC Raider Challenge 
Championships at Fort Knox. The Live Oaks male and female teams 
finished first in their divisions, and the coed team came in fifth 
place. Twenty-eight cadets earned full-ride scholarships to the 
university of their choice due to their success.
  Live Oaks' JROTC Cadets demonstrated incredible tenacity and grit in 
their championship success, qualities that will serve them well in 
their southern Ohio communities. I am proud to congratulate them today.
