Students at Huntsville High School are getting their CTE certifications, also known as Career and Technical Education certifications, which are credentials that demonstrate your skills and knowledge in specific career
Students at Huntsville High School were united with their parents Thursday afternoon following a bomb threat, according to Huntsville Independent School District.
The JROTC program at Huntsville High School is officially out of this world.
Formerly affiliated with the Air Force, the unit in March became one of only 10 JROTC programs in the United States to be designated as part of the U.S. Space Force.
Retired Lt. Col. David Murphy, the senior aerospace science instructor at Huntsville High, said it is an honor to be one of the first and few Space Force JROTC units in the country.
The designation was based on several factors, he said: Huntsvilleâs proximity to Marshall Space Flight Center and the fact that Huntsville Highâs JROTC program was named a distinguished unit for five of the past seven years, and was Alabamaâs top Air Force JROTC unit in 2016 and 2020.
