Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps (NJROTC) Cadet Cmdr. Jaqueline Duarte, 18, a graduating senior at Hyman G. Rickover Naval Academy, exits under ceremonial swords following graduation ceremonies at Copernicus Foundation Theater here June 10. Duarte, the Valedictorian for the first graduating class from Rickover, was part of 67 graduating seniors from the high school where all the students are NJROTC members. The NJROTC program, overseen by Naval Service Training Command headquartered at Naval Station Great Lakes, Ill., instills in students from United States secondary educational institutions the values of citizenship, service to the United States, personal responsibility and a sense of accomplishment. The mission of Rickover Naval Academy, named after Adm. Hyman G. Rickover, known as ?The Father of the Nuclear Navy? and opened in 2005, is to empower NJROTC cadets to meet and exceed academic standards through a challenging and engaging curriculum that promotes programs to prepare cadets for post-secondary education and independent living.
