Military Science

JROTC 1 & 2

The first unit of the Leadership Education program provides an introduction to both leadership and citizenship. It also exposes new cadets to personal growth and responsibility and establishes a foundation in military structure and tradition. Additionally, cadets participate in a healthy physical education program and are first exposed to the teamwork required in organized drill. This course will serve as the student’s graduation requirement for physical education (JROTC 1) and High School 101 (JROTC2). 

JROTC 3 & 4

Leadership Education II continues the leadership and citizenship classes of JROTC 1 and 2. During this course students receive instruction in General Military Subjects with more structure and tradition than in previous classes. Cadets also receive an introduction to the exciting sport of marksmanship, and orienteering training with map and compass. This unit also provides additional learning experiences in personal growth and responsibility, as well as citizenship. 

JROTC 5 & 6

In JROTC 5 and 6, cadets resume building upon the subjects they studied in previous JROTC courses, including various career options by beginning to learn more about public service and other possible careers for life after high school. Cadets also learn about job seeking and the interview process as well as receiving instruction in personal finances. 

JROTC 7&8

JROTC 7 and 8 is the culmination of a cadet’s Leadership Education studies. Cadets are expected to keep up with and be able to discuss current events. Social and cultural topics such as equal opportunity and sexual harassment are studied, and writing assignments are required on subjects approved by the instructor. Finally, cadets create a personal resume for their future use after high school.
