Her son is actively involved in CHS's NJROTC Corp of Cadets program. When asked about her fondest memory of her son's High School experience she shared with us “Colt has only been in CPS since half of his Junior year, but he got some great experiences including being one of the cadets who earned his Gold Wings, and the opportunity to be involved with the drone program showcasing it to the middle school.” She is thankful to Col. John Rahe for his impact on Colt, “he brought Colt out of his shell and helped him focus on school and the "bigger picture" of life.” Although Colt has had a short career as a Zebra, but he has embraced his experience. He will be walking across the same stage as his dad did when he graduated in 2002. Since joining Claremore Public Schools his Junior year, Colt has been an involved member of the NJROTC program and has most enjoyed being a part of the Drone Program they offer. His fondest memory was introducing the school to his mother, Mrs. Grubbs after he was enrolled. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE #CountdowntoCommencement #Classof2023

His fondest memory with his daughter, “Justine was coming back from breaking her ankle. Coach Cope drew up a play on Senior Night for her.
