Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps

JROTC is a four-year course designed to prepare students for their chosen careers after high school.  Students may enter at any grade level.  The course covers history, government, technology awareness, physical fitness, financial planning, interpersonal skills and current events with an emphasis on citizenship.  The lower level courses teach leadership skills including responsibility, accountability and personal skills such as how to motivate others, how to study for and take tests as well as how to interview for jobs.

In the upper level courses, students apply these leadership skills in various Chain-of-Command positions such as the Battalion Commander, Executive Officer and Staff Officer positions.  The Command and Staff students manage all JROTC functions with their instructors as mentors.  Students are required to wear their uniform once a week. 

Although the United States Army sponsors this program, there is NO military obligation for the students.  Students may also attend JROTC Cadet Leadership Challenge (JCLC) which helps them master leadership skills, self-discipline, courage and character.  Graduates from JCLC are placed into various leadership positions within the Battalion and Battalion Staff.  These graduates must demonstrate and apply all of the skills that they have learned in their classroom setting.

Currently, the course offers extracurricular activities such as a color guard, honor guard, drill teams, raider team and rifle team.  Two successful credits in JROTC will allow a student to waive Wellness II.
