Since we're an almost 1 year old squadron, we have 3 cadets approaching the Wright Brothers Milestone Award. Who commonly presents the certificate? Squadron Commander? We're an in-school unit,  so I'm thinking of maybe having the pricipal or superintendent present it. Then, when we get a cadet to Milestone 2, invite our small-town mayor.

Usually the unit commander. Check the Cadet Programs reg - it lists who the appropriate presenters are for each milestone.

The Principal or the Superintendent of Schools would qualify as a "local dignitary" so if they're on board, I would go with them. It's good press for your squadron and the School District.
