ROGERSVILLE — Cherokee High School Cadet Commander Travis Baxley was selected to the JROTC Appalachian Regional All-Star Leadership Team Thursday during the Johnson City Cardinals JROTC Night. The all-star selection of cadets emulates that of an all-conference athlete. Cadets around the region were recognized for their demonstrated leadership, commitment to excellence, and academic performance within their perspective JROTC units. Baxley, a senior, took the helm as Cherokee’s cadet commanding officer in May 2019. Before his command position, Baxley served as the platoon officer and armed exhibition drill team commander. This summer, Baxley was selected to serve as a cadet cadre instructor at the 2019 NJROTC Area Nine Leadership academy held in Smyrna, Tennessee. In all, 209 cadets from 22 High School NJROTCs attended the academy, and Baxley’s leadership was instrumental in their training and leadership development. In the community, Baxley was selected from many highly qualified students to carry the Cherokee flag and represent his school with pride as Hawkins County Schools kicked off an exciting new school year. Baxley has personally completed 167 hours of community service through NJROTC. He stands ready and willing to help in the community and has played a vital role in Cherokee NJROTC’s accumulation of 6,972 hours of people-oriented, environmentally-oriented, and school support activities in the 2018-2019 school year. The established goals of Cherokee’s NJROTC program lend themselves to character development. Cherokee NJROTC puts a strong emphasis on group leadership and the development of individual leadership potential through a wide range of opportunities and positions within the unit. Through the program cadets like Baxley emerge as leaders and learn the value of patriotism, love of country, respect for the flag, and pride in the American way of life. Additionally, members of the Cherokee NJROTC program choose to dedicate themselves to the core values of honor, courage, and commitment.
