New Bern High School NJROTC

New Bern High School's Junior ROTC unit was recently recognized as a " distinguished unit with academic honors." Only 10 % of NJROTC units in the world gain this recognition with the academic honors included.

The New Bern NJROTC completed more than 3,000 community service hours this year. One member was credited with administering first aid that helped save the life of a stricken runner during the 2007 Neuse River Bridge Run. Others helped place flags marking the 5th anniversary of the war on terror and honoring the dead and wounded soldiers.

The school's principal will be able to nominate three students to each of the American military academies because of this award this year.

Eight students were inducted into the National Honor Society this year.
