Ramone Wright, a junior at Abington Senior High School, was recently honored at the Philadelphia Police Department Explorers Luncheon for taking part in community service initiatives and training as part of his involvement with the Explorer Cadets.
From the Cadet Program’s webpage:
The Philadelphia Police Explorer Cadet Program is designed to introduce young adult men and women 14 to 20 years of age interested in pursuing a career in law enforcement.
The program is designed to provide law enforcement training and experience to the Explorer Cadet through mentoring, classroom instruction, and hands-on training.
When Cadets reach their nineteenth (19) birthday and desire to continue in the field of law enforcement, they are encouraged to apply to the Philadelphia Police Department and participate in the testing process.
In related news, seven Abington High School students were recently named to the Pennsylvania Music Educators Association All State Modern Band ensemble.
“These students, who are all participants in Abington’s M3 program and music industry coursework at the high school, will attend and perform in the PMEA All State conference in April, and will begin collaborating with students from across the state in the coming weeks to develop their setlist,” the district said in a post.
