Even though all JROTC classes are one trimester courses, taking just one course includes the student in the full year’s activities of JROTC including after school activities, community service projects and parades. **JROTC promotes a clean-cut appearance while in uniform. On uniform days (Thursdays) male and female cadets must adhere to grooming standards which are explained in the classroom and detailed in the Cadet Handbook. Specifically, while in uniform, hair of male cadets will be tapered and not exceed 3 inches on top and facial hair (other than a neatly groomed mustache) must be clean shaven. Hair of female cadets on uniform days must be pinned and arranged so that it does not fall below the collar of the uniform being worn.
