47 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE!!
The Watson Chapel JROTC Program for Accreditation (JPA) was conducted on March 13, 2024. Representatives from the United States Army Cadet Command 5th
Brigade from Fort Sam Houston, Texas conducted the inspection.
The inspection included two formal briefings by the cadets and a review of cadet portfolios, Instructor portfolios and interviews with cadets concerning JROTC curriculum knowledge. It also included an In-Ranks inspection as well Color Guard and Drill. This level of inspection is performed every 2-3 years and determines if the school will continue to have an accredited JROTC program.
Our students did an outstanding job scoring at 97.25 % earning the designation “Honor Unit with Distinction”. This award goes to units who held a very high standard, and puts the Watson Chapel JROTC program as an excellent program in the state and the nation. Watson Chapel JROTC has over 47 years of excellence!
Watson Chapel JROTC is led by MAJ Small and Sergeant First Class Stocker. Thank you for EXCELLENT leadership!! #JROTCCATS #EXCELLENCE #WCfamily

March is Music In Our Schools Month! We are extremely proud of our very own musicians in the Watson Chapel Wildcat Golden Wave Band and our Wildcat Singing Cats Choir!!
In celebration of Music In Our Schools Month and Women’s History Month, March 1, 2024, was a perfect time to welcome the Marian Anderson String Quartet to visit the music appreciation classes at Watson Chapel Jr. High School. This was an up close and personal experience with the musicians. Students were invited to participate by performing with the quartet. It was very interesting and engaging, and the music was very beautiful and exciting. Students asked and answered questions about the music they heard. Two students (Zoe Coleman and Kenneth Chambers) played along on the violin!
Choir Director, Janet Johnson states, "I am thankful for the partnership with Ms. Katherine Williamson from the Chamber Music Society of Little Rock for bringing the Marian Anderson String Quartet to Watson Chapel. We look forward to partnering with the Chamber Music Society again! Happy Music In Our Schools Month and Happy Women’s History Month!! "
The Marian Anderson String Quartet musicians are: Prudence McDaniel (cello), Deidra Lawrence (viola), Marianne Henry (1st violin), and Nicole Cherry (2nd violin).
