It was a busy summer for the cadets at the middle school cadet program at Desert Ridge Academy. The students spent two weeks at the Cal Guard Camp San Luis Obispo. This is the second year for the DRA program and they had 38 rostered cadets this past year. The summer camp program is all about leadership training.
Special congratulations to the following cadets:
Cadet Second Lieutenant Nathaniel Susa graduated as a drill instructor. Nathaniel will soon be a freshman at Shadow Hills High School.
Cadet Sergeant Gabriel Gout will also be attending Shadow this coming school year. Gabriel received expert certification in marksmanship.
Cadet Corporal Joey Gomez also leaves DRA behind for the Knights. He was a distinguished graduate of the program.
Cadet Corporal Desmond Ledferd will be in the 7th grade come August. He will be the commanding officer of the DRA battalion and was named an Honor Cadet.
