MISSION PHILOSOPHY 

The Army Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (JROTC) is the Department of Defense’s (DoD) largest youth program in the world. The JROTC Program’s mission philosophy is “To Motivate Young People to be Better Citizens” and it is a service to our nation that provides Cadets the motivation and skills to remain drug free, graduate from high school and become successful citizens. The program instills in students from secondary educational institutions the values of citizenship, service to the community and the United States, personal responsibility and a sense of accomplishment. While participation in JROTC does not require a military service commitment, Junior ROTC Cadets may qualify for an advanced placement in the Senior ROTC Program or in the Active or Reserve Components of the Armed Forces. Cadets may be authorized the enlistment grade of Private First Class (PFC/E-3) if they have completed three or more years of JROTC with a recommendation from the Senior Army Instructor (SAI). 

ENROLLMENT REQUIREMENTS 

All students must be enrolled in and attending a full-time regular course at an institution offering JROTC instruction or at a full-time accredited educational activity that has an agreement with the host institution (to include home school students) to allow the student to participate in JROTC. Students must be in a grade above the seventh grade during the school year of enrollment and maintain an acceptable standard of academic achievement and conduct as required by the JROTC Program and host institution. Cadet enrollment must be 10 percent of the number of students enrolled in the institution who are in a grade above the 7th grade, or 100 students, whichever is less.
