While In JROTC, cadets have the opportunity to participate on teams and take part in activities which help them to become better members in the Fall Mountain Community.

JROTC Purpose

The main goal of any JROTC class is simple...

To motivate young people to become better citizens!

There are many explanations for this. Discipline, leadership, and teamwork are just a few things the JROTC program will teach you. But there's one cost. A commitment to learn. A commitment to be a cadet.
