Central Catholic JROTC Vision
Our vision is to cultivate a JROTC unit that embodies the core principles of the Army's values: Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage. Through unwavering committment, exemplary leadership, and a dedication to excellence, we aim to develop cadets who are morally upright, mentally resilient, and socially responsible. Our unit fosters an inclusive environment that promotes teamwork, mutual respect, and a strong sense of belonging. We strive to instill in our cadets the importance of loyalty to their fellow cadets, duty to their community, and respect for themselves and others. By nurturing selfless service, we empower our cadets to make meaningful contributions and positively impact their surroundings. We emphasize the cultivation of honor, integrity, and ethical behavior, guiding our cadets to always choose the path of righteousness. Through courageous actions and a willingness to face challenges head-on, we empower our cadets to develop personal courage, enabling them to overcome obstacles with confidence and resilience. Our vision is to produce future leaders who embody the highest standards of character, integrity, and leadership, ready to serve their communities and excel in all facets of life.
Army Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps
The JROTC curriculum is accredited through AdvancED, the parent organization of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council and is aligned with differential, assessment-based, learning and growth, both mental and physical. It supports critical thinking, problem-solving, STEM, writing across the curriculum, and teamwork. Subjects include communication, government, military history, nutrition and health, interpersonal relationships, physical fitness, and personal finance. Students are free to join JROTC at any time throughout the year. Accommodations are made to provide additional instruction to reduce gaps in knowledge.
Established in 1935, our program consistently ranks among the top performing U.S. JROTC programs. Best known for our Gold Star status, our program has produced more nationally ranked special teams than any other school in the San Antonio area. We pride ourselves in our military academy appointments, the high academic achievements of our cadets, and most importantly, the success of our cadets achieve after graduating from the program.
The JROTC organization at CCHS is structured along military lines with a Brigade Command, two subordinate Battalions, three companies in each Battalion, two platoons in each company, and four squads in each platoon. As cadets gain knowledge and experience, they move up through the ranks to positions of increased responsibility. This year our cadet enrollment increased by 9% (from 252 to 276) which equates to roughly half of the student body. We have four levels of instruction with citizenship and leadership emphasis throughout. Upper-class cadets are provided opportunities to directly supervise, assess, and improve subordinate cadets.
In addition to classroom and leadership labs, JROTC has 8 extra-curricular teams (Sporter and Precision are two separate air rifle teams). We take new team members all throughout the school year and work around any other team or sports schedule. In addition to JROTC cadets, the U.S. Army Cadet Command policy allows all CCHS and PCS students to compete on the teams. There is no restriction on grade levels.
We welcome all cadets and students to join our teams!
“BUILDING TOMORROW’S LEADERS TODAY!”
Why should join JROTC
JROTC is a high school Citizenship and Leadership development program through seven units of classroom curriculum instruction, use of integrated (extra) curricular activities and balanced with participation in volunteer community service and service learning projects. Joining a JROTC unit is the one way for students to explore military service with no commitment to join the military.
College & Career Readiness
The Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) prepares students for potential service and/or joining ROTC at the collegiate level.
ROTC is the largest commissioning source for U.S. Army officers. ROTC units are spread out around 274 different college campuses around America.
Scholarship Benefits
JROTC has a robust number of scholarships that both high school and college students can apply for. High school students can apply for ROTC National Scholarships. Students selected for a National Scholarship will receive either a 4-year scholarship or a 3-year advanced designee scholarship to pay for college.
Leadership Development
In our Military Science classes, cadets learn leadership techniques that help them to progressively lead larger groups of people. Their skills are tested by leading fellow Cadets during basic military skills training as well as organizing and executing volunteer activities in the local community.
