Hoffman Earns Honor At Youth Challenge

At the end of each month, the platoon quads of the Montana Youth Challenge Academy select a high-performing cadet from their platoon to enter this competition.

The nominated cadets are recommended to the commandant who tests them in seven areas: uniform standards, physical fitness, academics, room inspections, marching practical, overall weekly evaluation scores and a written exam.

Cadet Xander Hoffman from the Wolf Point area has earned the Cadet of the Month honor.

The Cadet of the Month is one of the highest achievements available for cadets to earn during the program and automatically enrolls the student into the academy’s senior cadet program.
