JROTC NEWS
Cadets Leisley Cruz, Alejandro Vasquez, Aurora Ruvalcaba and Berenice Rodriguez on the steps at Arlington National Cemetery above the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
Four Paschal JROTC cadets recently joined 18 other FWISD Military History Course cadets and traveled to Gettysburg, PA and Washington, D. C. to study famous battlegrounds and historic sites. The cadets participated in an intense six day study program which focused on the impact of war on the citizens of the United States. The Paschal cadets presented an outstanding overview of day 1 (July 1, 1863) of the battle of Gettysburg to other cadets, FWISD instructors and students and faculty from Kutztown University. The JROTC Military History Course is now in its third year of instruction at Paschal High School.

Bring the world into your home and community by hosting an exchange student with Academic Year in America. Each year, Academic Year in America (AYA) brings more than 1,000 international students ages 15-18 to communities all over the United States. These students become a true member of your family, learning your traditions while sharing their customs and culture with you.
AYA is a not-for-profit organization designated by the U.S. Department of State to offer visas to international students. AYA allows host families the unique opportunity to choose a screened student who will best fit in their family. Students arrive from more than 50 countries including Germany, Brazil and South Korea. Host families can welcome their new family member for a semester, full school year or for a welcoming period. Host families must also provide their student with two meals a day and a place to sleep and study. To help facilitate the exchange, host families receive assistance from an AYA local coordinator and 24/7 support from the national office.
We hope you'll join us in bringing a little more of the world to Fort Worth!
