FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
January 15, 2025
Stuart, FL – The Martin County School District is proud to announce that the South Fork High School Army JROTC program has been awarded a $4,000 grant from The Home Depot Foundation. This generous grant will fund critical renovations to the program’s outdoor training facilities, including the Confidence Tower, Marksmanship Range, and Raider Obstacle Course.
The approved renovations will take place on Wednesday, January 22, 2025, at 8:00 a.m. Home Depot has gone above and beyond by not only providing financial support but also donating volunteer labor. Fourteen Home Depot team members will join the effort, working alongside JROTC program leadership to complete the project.
“We are incredibly grateful to The Home Depot Foundation for their commitment to improving the facilities used by our JROTC cadets,” said South Fork High School Principal Jaime Thompson. “These renovations will enhance the hands-on learning experiences our cadets gain through their participation in this program.”
The improvements are anticipated to be completed in one day, ensuring the upgraded facilities are ready for immediate use by the cadets.
