Student Spotlight: MCJROTC Excellence

Cadet 1st Lt. Dustin Olivia has played a crucial role in the MCJROTC over the past few years. This semester, he was selected as the Commanding Officer. Cadet 1st Lt. Olivia scored an impressive 296 points out of a possible 300 on the physical fitness test. During our annual weapon safety qualification, he was the only cadet out of 72 to qualify as an expert. CWO Tatum and GySgt Cuevas are proud of the exemplary standard this young man has set for others to follow.

Student Spotlight: A Great Attitude Goes a Long Way!

Meet Deysi Garcia, a sophomore at Ridgeland Secondary Academy of Excellence. Mr. John Bolsch, a teacher at JC CATE, believes you should know her name. Ms. Garcia is an intrinsically motivated learner who is eager to take on new challenges, learn from her mistakes, and grow. She is a natural leader in the classroom, always asking questions, helping her peers, and showing enthusiasm for learning every single day.

Student Spotlight: Meet Mr. Silverio Perez, Graphic Designer

Submitted by Mr. Tom Balliet, Board Member.


An organization I belong to in Sun City, the Sun City Environmental Club, was newly formed and looking for a logo. I had heard Dr. Stephanie Hart, Director, JC CATE mention that the Design and Marketing classes were trying to establish themselves in the community, so I contacted her. The classes developed several options, and the Club picked one. 


Ms. Broughton, Ms. Stephanie Anderson, the student with the winning design, and family were in attendance for a brief presentation that awarded Mr. Silverio Perez with payment for his design and recognition for his work.


This is the logo he designed.
