Mar Vista NJROTC Seniors Piped Over the Side

About a dozen local Navy Junior ROTC cadets were piped over the side, or retired, in a May 22 ceremony Wednesday at Mar Vista High School.

Commanding Officer Mariko Nakawatase handed leadership duties to Alfie Miranda in a change of command ceremony.

Dozens of awards were handed out for accomplishments ranging from saving a person in a rip current to physical fitness to winning a Fleet Reserve Association essay contest.

Mar Vista High School was the biggest blood donor in San Diego County this school year in part with the help of the NJROTC, an American Red Cross representative said.
