Welcome to the Naval Junior Reserves Officer Training Corps (NJROTC) Ouachita Parish High School website, home of Ouachita Parish High School, Louisiana's Naval Unit. The program's main objective includes promoting patriotism and developing a high degree of personal honor, individual discipline, self-reliance and leadership. The high merits of the unit have been demonstrated through outstanding performances from the Color Guard, Armed/Unarmed Drill Teams, Air Rifle Team, Physical Training Teams, Academic Team, Drone Team, Orienteering Team, and of the Unit as a whole. The Ouachita Parish High School NJROTC will continue to strive for excellence.

NJROTC General Rules of Conduct

NJROTC cadets hold a unique place among students at Ouachita Parish High School.  They are easily identified as belonging to a group that stands for honesty, patriotism, and living by the rules.  Cadets who do not measure up to these ideals will probably not remain in the unit for long.  NJROTC cadets are expected to learn and to follow, at all times, the rules of the school and the unit.

 Conduct in the school. Teachers and administrators at Ouachita Parish High School form their opinions about the NJROTC program based on the actions of the cadets they observe.  The outstanding reputation of the Unit is based in part on the outstanding conduct of the cadets and teachers have come to expect the best from NJROTC.

A cadet who causes trouble in another class can expect the teacher or the Assistant Principal for Discipline to contact the Naval Science Instructor for help.  Students who fail to show proper respect during the pledge and national anthem, who fail to wear the uniform properly in all classes, who are tardy to class, who fail to do assigned work, who disrupt class, can expect to have their conduct brought to the attention of the Naval Science Instructors.  If attempts to correct the problem fail, the cadet risks being dis-enrolled from the NJROTC program without credit.

 NJROTC general rules of conduct.  It is impossible to provide a complete set of rules that covers all situations.  In general, cadets are expected to be honest, courteous, respectful individuals at all times.  The list of expected or prohibited conduct below is only a guide and not in any way all-inclusive.

Harassment of another cadet will not be tolerated, whether it is sexual, racial, or religious in nature.  Remarks or actions which the recipient believes to be harassment should be reported to the SNSI or NSI as soon as possible. No cadet should put up with unwanted comments or actions by another, even if no real harm seems to have been done. Repeated harassment or harassment of a serious nature is grounds for drop from NJROTC and other action by the school or authorities as necessary.
