Northview High NJROTC Orienteering Team Earns Bid To National Championship

December 27, 2020

The Northview High School NJROTC Orienteering Team has earned a repeat trip to the NJROTC National Orienteering Championship.

Cadet Commanding Officer David Lamb, the three-time defending Area 8 varsity champion, was unable to attend the event. The other Northview team members stepped up to the plate and ran hard for their missing teammate, according to Chief Jeffrey Simpkins.

    REFRESHING to know that these young NJROTC students are keeping the “old skills” alive in their training and experiences.
    Encouraged that they are not having to rely only upon digital devices to find their way.
    Use of compass and map are essential for young Naval Officers as they navigate on sea, air and land.
    IMPRESSED by you and Thankful For you.
    Best Wishes and May your New Year and Future be Amazing.
