Seniors- Jostens will be on campus Wednesday, March 4 during Power-up and lunch for cap and gown deliveries. Please stop by their table at the gate between the 100 and 700 building in front of the Ed center.

On Tuesday, 2/24 Sailors from the USS Tucson (SSN 770), along with Navy veterans representing the USS Tucson (SSN 770) and USS Seadragon (SSN 584) associations, visited the Cienega High School NJROTC program as part of the annual Tucson Rodeo Week celebration.

The USS Tucson is homeported at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii. Each year, members of the crew are invited to Tucson in recognition of the city for which the submarine is named, and they participate in community events throughout Rodeo Week.

We were honored to host the following members of this year’s USS Tucson namesake delegation:

CDR Vince Bove – Commanding Officer

MMACS Morgan Carney – Chief of the Boat

LTJG James Sandt – Junior Officer

HM1 Joseph Rivera – Independent Duty Corpsman

ETN1 William Rulolfson – Reactor Controls Division

ITR2 Andrew Steele – Radio Division

During the visit, Commanding Officer CDR Vince Bove, USN, presented our Senior Naval Science Instructor, CDR Micah Brewer, USN (Ret.), with a USS Tucson plaque. The plaque will be displayed in our classroom beneath the ship’s 1994 commissioning photograph.

We are grateful for the continued partnership between USS Tucson and our NJROTC program and for the opportunity afforded to our cadets to engage directly with active-duty Sailors and Navy veterans.
