Following two online rounds of rigorous competition against teams from all over the world, Coronado High School’s Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) Academic Team secured a coveted spot in the 2024 Navy JROTC Academic Bowl championship.
The JROTC Leadership & Academic Bowl stands as a nationally recognized competition tailored exclusively for JROTC students. Through participation, cadets imbibe the values of citizenship, engage in academic rivalry and explore avenues for college opportunities. This platform provides a remarkable avenue for JROTC cadets to demonstrate their leadership and academic prowess.Â
Coronado’s team is made up of Daniel Adams, Claire Hickey, Dylan Nasori, Paige Koczan, Dale Gregory and Emma Terry. The event will be held in Washington, D.C. at The Catholic University of America Campus from June 21-25.
This team emerged with top honors among 549 Navy JROTC academic teams worldwide and their achievement places them among the elite 16 Navy JROTC Academic Bowl teams in the nation—earning them an all-expenses paid trip.
The preliminary rounds, marked by their intensity and speed, assessed cadets on a range of subjects including core curriculum such as math, science and language arts, along with evaluations of their grasp on current events, citizenship, leadership skills and financial literacy.
