The Pine Forest High School NJROTC program was honored Wednesday for achieving third place on the 2010 NJROTC Academic Exam out of 1,539 teams that took part in this academic competition.

“This is another shining example of the efforts being made here at Pine Forest to increase our academic rigor and improve our academic standing both on the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test and college readiness exams. In addition, this same NJROTC Unit, at the close of the 1st semester, had earned over 6,000 community service hours,” said Principal Frank Murphy.

The 100 question test covers a variety of topics including world history, American history, naval and maritime history, physical sciences, current events and more.

The five-member Pine Forest NJROTC was comprised of Cadet LTJG Sirikanya Sellers, Cadet ENS Joseph Mills, Cadet ENS Michael Core, Cadet CDR Kelly MacMurray, and Cadet CPO Robby Rudd.

    Way to go Pine Forest! I know most of the cadets on the team personally, and they are amazing people. I’m very proud of their accomplishment. Although many teams do not place on that exam, it’s great experience to be on an academic team and take it. I know Master Chief and both of your other instructors are proud! Excellent job Ya, Michael, and Kelly :) .
