Congratulations to the Smithfield High School the 2024 Hampton Roads Drill Champions!!!!!

The Community Service Project, Military Scholars Youth Development Services, Inc., and the Virginia Peninsula Food Bank formed a partnership and challenged the JROTC high school teams' participants to bring non-perishable food items.
