Adm. Kirkland H. Donald, director, Naval Nuclear Propulsion, speaks to Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps (NJROTC) cadets from Hyman G. Rickover Naval Academy during graduation ceremonies at Copernicus Foundation Theater here June 10. 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. Rickover Naval Academy, named after Adm. Hyman G. Rickover, known as "The Father of the Nuclear Navy," graduated 67 seniors as part of the first graduating class from Rickover, a naval academy where all the students are NJROTC members. Adm. Donald has been part of Rickover since its inception in 2005. The mission of Rickover Naval Academy 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.
