Navy National Defense Cadet Corps

Courses such as citizenship, Naval orientation, History and operations will be taught now with the approval of a new FY22 budget, Elizabethton City Schools to begin its Navy National Defense Cadet Corps, otherwise known as NJROTC.According to a release by the school system Ryan Presnell, current Elizabethton High School criminal justice teacher and former Army officer is now responsible for building the program.“I am very excited to be given the opportunity to lead the NNDCC program at EHS,” said Presnell. “It’s going to be a learning process, but I know our community greatly supports the tenets of military service and this program will flourish because of it!”
