Chief Junaluska 1812 Chapter - Henderson, NC

 Erick Rundquist is pictured presenting the JROTC Award on behalf of the 1812 Chief Junaluska Chapter to Stacy Perez-Ibarra. Stacy is a graduate of North Henderson High School and has been a wonderful addition to the Corps of Cadets. She led the fundraising efforts that enabled students to participate in two separate field trips. Both were multi-day activities for JROTC training in Virginia and in Florida. She also served as a JROTC teacher's aide and supported blood drives, organized cadet logistics, and has been a positive force in all the JROTC activities in North Henderson High School. Congratulations to Stacy Perez-Ibara
