Port St. Lucie High School Jaguar Battalion Welcomes Future Freshmen at Open House

On Thursday, February 12th, 2026, the Port St. Lucie High School Jaguar Battalion demonstrated exceptional leadership while assisting with the Freshman Open House. A total of 14 Cadets contributed to the event’s success, handling various responsibilities throughout the day. The afternoon began with a formal presentation of the colors, commanded by Cadet Command Sergeant Major Micah Rutter. The Color Guard included Lieutenant Colonel Rebecca Guison as the state color bearer, Cadet First Sergeant Hamza Alqadi as the right guard, and Cadet Captain Kamron Harris as the left guard.
While the Battalion has remained active throughout the school year, this event was a significant opportunity to connect with the Future of Port St. Lucie High School. Several Cadets staffed an informational table where they spoke with future freshmen about the benefits of JROTC, explaining how the program builds character and leadership skills. Other Cadets worked outside to manage parking logistics, ensuring that families could arrive and depart without issue. These combined efforts were highly successful, as twenty-four students decided to enroll in the program that day. It was rewarding for the fourteen of us involved to see such a strong interest in the program, and we are excited to mentor these new students next year.
