Drew CushingCongratulations Cadet Andrew C. on being voted the General Colin L. Powell Leadership Academy October’s Cadet of the Month. As a ninth grader, “He is one highly motivated cadet,” exclaims Colonel Neil Hetherington. He stepped up to captain the football team during GNATS and leads by example with his academics. He currently maintains about a 3.7 GPA and his favorite subject is English. Drew plans to attend Mankato State University and wants to study English Literature. He would like to be an author some day and is also interested in the military. What he likes best about being in the Leadership Academy and the JROTC Program are the leadership opportunities, the structure and discipline. Keep up the great work, cadet!

Watch him and the rest of the Powell Leadership Academy Cadets in action at GNATS!
