Northeast offers the Marine Corps Junior Reserve Officersβ Training Corps (JROTC) program focusing on student leadership, citizenship and service to the community. Through partnerships with the United States Marines, instructors prepare students in grades 9-12 for leadership roles while making them aware of their rights, responsibilities, and privileges as American citizens through rigorous instruction and hands-on activities. JROTC prepares students for life and they are not under any obligation to join the military. However, if they choose to further their interest in the military, satisfactory completion of the JROTC program can lead to advanced placement credit in the Senior ROTC program (college level) or advanced rank in any of the Armed Forces.
