Cadet Lauryen Smith was promoted on Oct. 6 to the rank of colonel.

This is an honor that only one cadet holds in the entire district.

Smith is now in charge of all JROTC programs in the district.

“The promotion was very special to me. It was even more of an honor to have two people who had watched me grow in this program,” said Smith.

“I’m glad they were able to see their hard work and encouragement matriculate in JROTC.”
