The Pentagon welcomed 18 high school students and faculty from St. George’s School in Middletown on Tuesday. The group, part of the Rogers Scholars program, got an inside look at the Department of Defense’s global operations.
During their visit to Washington, D.C., the students toured the Office of the Secretary of Defense Public Affairs and met with Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell. They learned about the DOD’s media relations and how it communicates with journalists.
The Department of Defense shared on Facebook: “Thanks for the great questions and conversations; the future is in good hands!”
This Pentagon trip is part of the Rogers Scholars program, which aims to give students unique learning experiences and introduce them to potential career paths. The visit offered participants a glimpse into U.S. military and defense operations.
