Record number of Trojans commit to the military
Seventeen Carrollton High School students have committed to a military career as their post-secondary option, the largest class of CHS students in recent years who elected to serve their country following graduation.
CHS principal David Brooks said technical school and college are appropriate preparation grounds for many students before they enter the workforce, but the military is another way young adults can transition to good careers.
"While we don't recruit for the branches of service, we want to make sure students are exposed to the option," said Brooks. "Traditional college isn't for everyone. Technical school is a good option, and has been promoted as such. But so is the military. We want to make sure our graduates make the best choice based on their personal situations."
One student is headed to a prestigious U.S. military academy, three will serve in the Air Force, four each are headed to the Army, Navy and Marines, and one student will serve in the Army National Guard. MORE
