Congratulations LA Graduates!
After enduring two full weekends of intense academic classes, uniform inspections, and leadership instructions, cadets from our unit graduated from Leadership Academy on Sunday, 18 October 2020. Due to the pandemic that prevented the traditional LA at Riverside Academy, units had to be creative in affording the opportunity for this year's cadets to participate. Instructors from six high schools in the local are were able to deliver the highest quality training to our young cadet leaders. Special thanks to Kennesaw Mountain High School for hosting. Cadets from the unit are now better equipped to demonstrate a higher level of leadership ability and skills. Bravo Zulu!
LA graduated pictured from left to right are Joseph Prinzi, Katheryn Williams, and Rebecca Pena-Rubio, 1st Squad Leader and Highest GPA in Squad. Congratulations on a job well done!

Football Season has Returned!!
The North Cobb-Harrison Unit got back in the groove of things at Harrison's first home game on Friday, 4 September. After the long awaited return of sports, our cadets from North Cobb and Harrison came out and supported the unit while socially distancing and wearing face masks during the game. Cadets served as gate guards and assisted faculty and staff in ensuring spectators were in compliance to CDC guidelines while enjoying their time at the football game. (pictured left to right cadets c/SA Burris and c/PO2 Carambot). With that being said, look for football game signups, located on the website, to support our unit, our schools, and your community.
