The Cape Henlopen High School JROTC program held its inaugural Cadet Ball March 8 in the hall of the Rehoboth Beach Volunteer Fire Company, where cadets, instructors, school staff and esteemed guests gathered for a night of formalities and festivities.
The event was not merely a social gathering, but a symbol of the commitment and values instilled in the young leaders.
Col. Edward Dowgin Jr., head of the program, said the event was cadet led.
“Although I guided this, and I kind of showed them what the expectation was, they did everything, from the emcee and the color guard, all the way to the caterer,” he said. “The task organization is a life skill that will help them out no matter where they go.”
The Cadet Ball is more than just a formal event, as it is also a culmination of the hard work and dedication cadets have put forth throughout the year. It is a celebration of their achievements and a testament to the values they embody as future leaders in the community and nation.
