The Grizzly Youth Academy graduated 202 cadets out of a starting class of 211, with a ceremony and drill held at Cal Poly. It’s the 33rd class to pass thorough the institution and this year saw two landmarks with the 94% graduation rate and only the second time they’ve broken the 200-student mark. Brig. Gen. James Gabrielli, commander of youth and community programs for the California National Guard, conducted the final inspection and praised the students for their fortitude and willing to stick through the rigorous 22-week program.
Of the program graduates, 65 also earned enough credits to graduate from high school and 16 former classmates came from home to walk with their peers in graduation.
