Cadet Testimonials
"JROTC helped me build a strong foundation as a mission-oriented and understanding leader, which has assisted me from college to law school and in my career as a young professional. Being a cadet developed my self-confidence when speaking in large groups, as well as my ability to lead and motivate a small staff. JROTC impressed on me the values of respect, integrity, and humility in professional environments."
- Nikolai Wise, Class of 2017
"I would recommend JROTC to everyone because It’s one of the classes in high school that offers real life skills."
- Logan Brown, Class of 2022
