Cadet Command Sergeant Major Evans Gabriel was chosen for this honor.

Cadet Gabriel is from Hallandale High School and was chosen as the County's top cadet due to his academic excellence, the numerous contributions he has made to the community and the fact his actions as a cadet are a role model for all students (and adults.) He has been part of Hallandale High's JROTC Program since it began, and has served as a vital member of the group. Evans believes anyone thinking about joining the JROTC should give it a try.

"You never know until you see what it has to offer," he said. "The lessons you learn – discipline, honor, integrity – don't only apply to a military life, they apply to life in general."

In addition, this past February, Florida Governor Jeb Bush announced the winners of the Second Annual Governor's All-Stars. When the names were read, Cadet Gabriel was among those chosen for this honor. Cadet Gabriel has also been honored by Major General Rochelle, the Commanding General for the United States Army Recruit Command, for his superior performance.

Congratulations, Cadet Command Sergeant Major Evans Gabriel on a job well done! Keep up the good work!
