JROTC MISSION STATEMENT

Motivate young people to become better citizens.

WHAT IS JROTC?

There is no military service obligation incurred by being a part of JROTC. Uniforms are provided at no cost to the students.

JROTC is a student lead program that teaches citizenship, leadership and  useful life skill subjects like first aid, map reading, organization and planning skills.  JROTC prepares college bound and workforce students with self-discipline and an enhanced resume that cites solid leadership positions to aid in obtaining scholarships/jobs. Students who think they want to go into the military after high school get an introduction to rank structure and drill.  Cadets who complete two years of JROTC can enter the military with an initial promotion and those who complete three years can earn two promotions. JROTC also is helpful in obtaining College ROTC scholarships and Academy Appointments
