For the eighth consecutive year, the Newton High School Marine Corps Junior ROTC program has earned national distinction as a Naval Honor Unit. This award places Newton High in the top 20 percent of the 225 MCJROTC programs in the nation. “As a result of our selection as a Naval Honor Unit, our program may nominate three cadets to compete for 20 appointments under this category to the United States Naval Academy,” said Gunnery Sgt. (Ret.) Sherman Smith.
