ABOUT THE WEBMASTER
My name is Katherine Keirns, and I am currently a History Major at Mississippi University for Women. I was a member of White Station High School's Spartan Battalion, Memphis, Tennessee. While in the program I was Memphis City Schools Corps G-5 (Public Affairs Officer). I left the JROTC program when I graduated in 1997, and went on to attend the oldest state supported college for women in the country, which is actually coed, but that is another story.
