Cavalier Battalion’s Cadets attend STEM Academy at South Carolina State University
Southern Lee High School’s cadets participated in JROTC’s second annual Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) camp at South Carolina State University (SCSU) June 11-17th. Southern Lee High School was one of 31 North and South Carolina’s high schools that attended. The camp was appropriately named “Camp Bulldog '' after SCSU’s mascot. Cadets were given a choice between Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Cyber Security, Computer Science, Micro Controllers, and Rockets to explore during camp. All instruction was provided by South Carolina State’s excellent faculty and staff. In addition to the classroom instruction, cadets received presentations by Savannah River Plant, Fort Jackson’s Surgeon, Fort Gordon’s Cyber Security, and Nephron Pharmaceuticals. They also went on field trips to The South Carolina State Museum and Lexington Water Treatment Plant. The camp culminated with each STEM group presenting their final projects to their fellow cadets.
We are thrilled to announce that for the 2024-2025 school year, ALL students in ALL schools will receive FREE breakfast and lunch!
This incredible initiative ensures that every student can focus on learning, growing, and thriving without worrying about meals. Let's celebrate a year of educational success and well-nourished minds! Read more at https://bit.ly/LeeCoCEP
