Summary:
|
LTC Joseph F. R. Brillant will give a presentation to the Governing Board regarding the California Cadet Corps.
The California Cadet Corps (CACC) can trace its roots back to 1856 when cadet companies were attached to California National Guard units. In 1910, California Governor James Gillette and Adjutant General Edwin Forbes investigated the viability of a State-wide program with the support of both the state Military Dept. and the Education Dept. This resulted in the establishment of the High School Cadets. On April 5th, 1911 this was to be changed to the California Cadet Corps, which was formed by the state legislature and signed into law by then Governor Hiram Johnson. Since that time the program has survived, flourished, and provided California with many civic and military leaders - to include former Governor Jerry Brown.
CACC mission is to create outstanding leadership development opportunities for students. Their vision is to transform students into tomorrow's leaders and community builders.
The values instilled by this program are...
* Transformational leadership
