In Remembrance of the attacks on the twin towers on September 11, Lafayette High School’s own AFJROTC MS-932 will be hosting a retreat and folding of the colors ceremony on September 12th, this type of ceremony as little known by the school is likely to be the only JROTC run retreat ceremony in remembrance of said attacks. our entire unit, including our newly entered freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors in large formation paraded out in front of the commons. This ceremony will be hosted entirely by students. Including a newly appointed command chief as well as Ella Scott our Corp Commander, and will be narrated by Steven Hale. The entire school is invited to see this event.

As said by Maj. Harvey Rice “Retreat is when we show respect to our flag and marks the end of the official day” “ I don’t know of any (schools) that do a retreat but a lot of ROTC’s around the nation do something to remember September the eleventh whether they do announcements or a schoolwide function but almost every ROTCs do something to mark September the eleventh”
