Cadet Sergeant First Class Matthew Chilastri of Woodlawn High School won the Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) LET 2 Cadet of the Year Board Award held in mid-February at Broadmoor High School. Chilastri demonstrated exceptional knowledge of the JROTC curriculum. His character in both JROTC and in his academic achievement is evident by achieving a 4.5 GPA and being ranked first in a class of 353 in his sophomore class.
LET Cadets compete in the areas of curriculum knowledge, cumulative GPA, cadet resume and appearance, military courtesy and bearing.
The top LET 2 Cadets were (pictured, left to right): Chilastri, Cadet Major Dominique Turner of Northeast High School – second place and Cadet Sergeant First Class Autumn Ford of Belaire High School – third place.
The Cadet of the Year Board includes four recognition events during the year, one for each of the four Leadership and Education and Training (LET) levels, from a first-year cadet to a fourth-year cadet. Each School System high school’s JROTC team is encouraged to enter an outstanding cadet at each level. Participants receive a certificate and medal, and the Board determines the overall LET level winners who receive a plaque. The Board consists of five JROTC instructors.
For more information, contact Lt. Col. Robert J. Hyver Jr. (Ret.) at (225) 354-4491.
