Ahead of Veterans Day, Eastern High School JROTC students welcomed members of the U.S. Navy for a special presentation on Nov. 10, giving students an up-close look at naval technology and career opportunities.
Navy personnel showcased a 6-foot model of the USS District of Columbia (SSBN-826), an upcoming Columbia-class ballistic missile submarine, offering a hands-on connection between classroom STEM lessons and advanced naval technology.
Navy personnel also introduced students to technical career paths in engineering, maritime operations and structural design, highlighting opportunities to apply science and technology skills beyond the classroom.
