CHS JROTC Leadership students had the opportunity to learn about repelling! They visited Fort Whiting where military personnel taught them about equipment and safety checks.

Our students then repelled from a 40 foot tower. This activity built confidence and encouraged team work.

Thank you Chief McLean for your dedication and service to our students and our community.

Students learned about the production industry, the history of the company, the company's values and practices, as well as, opportunities available at FMC. They also listened to current employees describe their daily work duties and educational background.
