Hawthorne Academy of Health Sciences Army JROTC from 4th Brigade participated in the 2023 Charlotte Veterans Day Parade on November 11 to recognize our veterans. Thirty Hawthorne Cadets joined the marching elements from all the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools for this annual event. Commander C/LTC Brianna Ruiz led the procession with C/CSM Benjamin Aguilar leading the cadences. The Cadets were honored to display the patriotism and unity of Hawthorne Academy. We appreciate all Veterans for their service and those currently serving!
