Military Recognition Day 2024

It was a special day for fourteen Cabot High School students. A Military Recognition Day was held in the CHS Media Center. Students who enlisted with various branches of the military were honored in front of family, friends and classmates.

These students have earned MILLIONS of dollars in scholarship money. In fact, SIX of our seniors received prestigious military appointments with scholarships worth $600,000 each! This is the LARGEST number of seniors to earn military appointments in Cabot High School history!
