June 5, 2023-- It's the inaugural year of the district's Junior ROTC Academy, and one cadet is already making a big difference.

JROTC Cadet Sergeant and High School North student Sarah Marshall has been named the OCSCA 2023 Caring Award winner.

"Cadet Sergeant Marshall is a leader in and out of the classroom," said SFC Long, Army Junior ROTC instructor. "She truly cares and goes above and beyond the call of duty - especially during practices and competitions."

Marshall, who will be attending the University of New Haven and majoring in fire science, fire arson, and investigation, has excelled in community service and volunteerism. She has earned the respect and admiration of her teachers, instructors, and peers, and has proven more than deserving of this distinguished award. See the full announcement below. Congratulations, Sarah!
