Chapel Hill High School cadet Marlon Cruz-Johnson has once again put on an outstanding performance at the Navy JROTC Orienteering Nationals. Cruz-Johnson, a cadet from Chapel Hill's NJROTC program, recently achieved an impressive eighth-place finish. The competition, held in March at Oak Mountain State Park in Pelham, Alabama, brought together the top 100 cadets from across the country.
This marks Cruz-Johnson's second consecutive year representing Chapel Hill at the national level. Cruz-Johnson competed as an advanced runner and outperformed over 2,500 advanced runners in his category nationwide.
Orienteering challenges athletes to navigate 4-5 kilometer courses through unfamiliar terrain, requiring both exceptional physical endurance and precise navigational skills. Competitors must locate control points using only a map and compass while racing against the clock.
The Douglas County School System celebrates Cruz-Johnson for his accomplishment and for representing Chapel Hill High School’s NJROTC unit at the national level.

Chapel Hill High School students recently returned home after an educational journey through the United Kingdom that brought their classroom studies to life through firsthand experiences.
The scholars traveled to several of the UK's most treasured cultural and historical destinations. They walked the historic grounds of Oxford University, immersed themselves in the literary heritage of Shakespeare's Stratford-upon-Avon, and explored the ancient streets and castle of Edinburgh, Scotland.
During their time in London, students visited iconic landmarks, including Buckingham Palace and the bustling Piccadilly Circus, giving them a taste of historical and contemporary British culture. The educational tour gave students valuable international exposure while creating lasting memories and deepening their understanding of British history and culture.
Group leader Holly Morton emphasized the educational value of the experience: "This trip offered our students a real-world opportunity to connect with the history, literature, and global culture that they've studied in class. We had a wonderful time seeing the United Kingdom together, and I know that the memories and lessons we took away will last our students a lifetime."
