The Bethel High School (BHS) NJROTC team earned 2nd place in the nation at the prestigious JROTC Leadership & Academic Bowl (JLAB) Championship. This remarkable accomplishment is a huge win for Bethel High School and Bethel Public Schools. The BHS NJROTC team stood out as the only team from the entire New England region to compete at this level. Impressively, only the top 2% of JROTC programs nationwide advanced to the prestigious JLAB Championship, held this past weekend (Jun 13th - 15th) at The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C.
We would like to recognize the outstanding cadets who achieved this honor:
Cadet Adhwaitha Devasani (Academic Officer)
Cadet Avni Shah
Cadet Joey Sacchinelli
Cadet Toshan Bhattacharya
This monumental achievement highlights the academic excellence, hard work, dedication, teamwork, discipline, and leadership that define the Bethel Navy JROTC program and brings great pride to Bethel Public Schools and the broader community.
