The JROTC Leadership Experience (JLE) is a field trip that JROTC takes the second semester of every school year where we mix education and some fun.  

We endeavor to rotate locations every year.

This year we are planning on going to Charlotte, NC. We are planning the JROTC Leadership Experience on 2-4 May 2025.  We plan on going to visit UNC Charlotte and their Army ROTC program, the NASCAR museum, and the Carowinds Amusement park.  The JROTC Department will be chaperoning all participating Cadets.

 This trip is open to Cadets that are enrolled in either 1st or 2nd semester.  There are only 40 slots available.

Cadets that would like to reserve a spot will need to provide a deposit of $125 due to LTC Bartley no later than 1 October. another $125 will be due by 1 Feb 25 and the final $125 due 1 Mar 25. You may also pay the entire $375 at once. You must use MyPaymentsplus (total $375 in MPP, but partial deposits can be made).  The cost will be non-refundable, however, if the event is cancelled, all money will be refunded.

12thGrade Cadets that have been in SJHS JROTC for 6 semesters will have 1/3 their trip paid for; 7 semesters 2/3 will be paid for; 8 semesters will have entire trip paid for.

 This is a school sanctioned trip and permission slips (2x school and weekend), and a limited power of attorney (for medical emergencies) will be required. Permission slips and any medical forms must be turned in by Friday, 28 March 2025.  They can all be found on the JROTC website.

 If any Cadets are taking medications (prescription or non-prescription) an appropriate HCS medication form will have to be filled out (a doctor will have to fill out and sign the prescription form).

 There will be a minimum of 3 Chaperones (LTC Bartley, SFC Currie, and 1 or 2 certified female Chaperones). If you are interested in Chaperoning, please contact LTC Bartley, as their cost will be waived (minus meals and incidentals).

 Females will room with other females and males will room with other males (4-5 to a room; 2 double beds, sofa couch).

 We will have a (optional) Parents meeting for the trip on Thursday, 10 April 2025, at 6:00 pm at the JROTC classrooms.  We will discuss the packing list, the itinerary, and answer any questions.
