MARINE CORPS JROTC: A STRONG START

MCJROTC is at its essence a Leadership Education Program meant solely to develop character and citizenship. Although a comprehensive learning environment anchored in a military structure is not for all students; there is a body of defendable academic knowledge that clearly articulates the significant benefit to those that choose to participate. Our curriculum was the first to be nationally accredited under CITA/SACS and is directly linked to National Standards. Responding to local challenges, MCJROTC Programs can be implemented in any one of several configurations to include a traditional model, cluster, school within a school, and stand alone academy.

DEVELOPING STRONG LEADERSHIP

There are challenges ahead and decisions to make. There are easy paths and challenging paths. The easy one is not always the best choice. Often young adults receive conflicting messages about right and wrong, good and bad. Joining and participating in MCJROTC can help them make the best decisions based upon learning and practicing core values and the development of character and personal responsibility. MCJROTC is not the easiest path and it is not for everyone. Yet for those who have chosen to participate it is an experience that has helped tens of thousands of young adults make the right decisions during their high school experience. Try it.
