To all students, come and give NJROTC a try!

• Approximately 80 percent of the NJROTC cadets who are graduating seniors continue to higher education.

• Cadets learn the value of teamwork and individual accomplishments from belonging to NJROTC.

• The character education in NJROTC teaches values, principles, and self-discipline promoting positive, productive behaviors and provides a support structure that is critical not only in helping cadets avoid the use of drugs, but living a healthy and fit lifestyle.

• NJROTC provides the opportunity for high school students to learn the basic elements and need for national security and their personal obligations as Americans.
