MSgt Steven Peters
I'm in my 5th year of being one of the JROTC Instructors for Carroll County. Our program is comprised of Central, Villa Rica, Temple, Bowdon, and Mt Zion students. The JROTC Mission is to "Develop Citizens of Character, dedicated to serving their Nation and Community."
My wife, Leanna Joy, and I have 3 boys in all levels of the Central Cluster. We also have 4 older children who live in various locations across the country. We moved here in September 2019 from Idaho after 24 years of service in the US Air Force.
