The skies cleared Saturday morning to provide the perfect backdrop for Humble ISD’s second annual “Work Out With A Vet” program on October 25, 2025.

Humble ISD Superintendent Dr. Roger Brown, Humble ISD Director of Personalized Student Success Dr. Melissa Leigh and Summer Creek High School Army JROTC Cadet First Lieutenant Ethan Crane gave speeches to the crowd in attendance.
Following the program, anyone interested in participating in the workout was invited to join all of the cadets on the field, where Atascocita High School MJROTC instructor Master Gunnery Sergeant Daniel Fleming then led all the participants in a warm-up and workout.
