The exemplary performance of Parkview High students enrolled in the school’s MCJROTC (Marine Corps Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps) unit has earned the Lilburn school designation as a “Naval Honors School.” The Commanding General of the Marine Corps Training and Education Command recently notified Parkview High of its status, a national honor shared by only 20% of the nation’s units.

The school’s MCJROTC unit earned the designation due to its overall rating during the 2007-08 school year. The decision was based on the cadets’ exemplary performance during inspections, drill competitions, community service, marksmanship, and scholastic achievement.

In addition, the JROTC unit as a whole demonstrated excellence in unit administration, training, supply, facilities, armory management, cadet citizenship, school and community involvement, scholastic achievement, and extracurricular events according to Training and Education Command guidelines.

About 145 students participate in the Parkview High JROTC unit, which is offered in grades 9-12. The unit was first established in September of 1995 and is led by Captain Modesto Silverio, and Gunnery Sergeant David H. Erwin.
