Capitol Heights Middle Rising Achievers Visit Camp Chandler

The YMCA Rising Achievers of Capitol Heights Middle headed into the great outdoors at Camp Chandler to take part in team-building exercises. While there, they learned about cooperation, communication, trust, leadership and plan development. The Rising Achievers is a mentoring program for young women that Dr. Tiffany Barlow said is making a huge impact on the school’s culture.

U.S. Air Force Maj. Gen. Sam Barrett has been around the world as he has risen through the ranks of the military, but the foundation of his success was built at Robert E. Lee High School. Barrett returned to his alma mater recently to let AFJROTC cadets know that they all are capable of the same level of success and more. A Montgomery native, Barrett participated in the Lee AFJROTC program, learning from his father, Col. Sam Barrett. He also earned All-State honors on the Generals football team and received a scholarship to the U.S. Air Force Academy. He is now the 18th Air Force commander at Scott Air Force Base in Illinois. He is shown here holding a miniature Lee Generals football helmet that Lee Principal Antjuan Marsh presented to him during his visit. Gen. Barrett and his father are both members of the Lee Hall of Fame.
