FORT WAYNE, Ind. — After advancing through two phases of online competition, Concordia Lutheran High School’s JROTC Leadership Team composed of junior Faith Poor, freshman Dever Kemme-Nash, sophomore Brin Miller and freshman Liam McCurdy will compete in person at the Championship event in Washington, D.C.
The 2017 U.S. Army JROTC Leadership Bowl Championship will be held on the campus of The Catholic University of America, June 23-27, 2017. This event is sponsored by the U.S. Army Cadet Command, JROTC Headquarters and is conducted by College Options Foundation.
Concordia’s JROTC team earned top scores out of the 1,378 U.S. Army JROTC teams that competed from around the world. The team is one of only 40 Army JROTC Leadership Bowl teams in the nation to advance to the National Leadership Bowl competition, which includes an all-expense paid trip to the Championship event in D.C. During the two fast-paced preliminary rounds, cadets were tested on their knowledge of current events, leadership values, and leadership skills.

By participating, cadets learn the values of citizenship, academic competition, and college opportunity.
