KHS Student Luis Zamora is Awarded European Volunteer Internship Program

"I applied for an Internship through ROTC Cadet Command and received the European Volunteer Internship Program. I believe it will foster character development and serve as a springboard to becoming a Foreign Area Officer in the future. I will go to camp this summer, and immediately following that, I will travel to Stuttgart, Germany to partake in the internship.

"Thank you for guiding me in the right direction and serving as a significant mentor of mine. I owe a lot of credit to the KHS Battalion. I would not be where I am at today without joining a program in high school who's mission is to motivate young people to be better citizens."
