JROTC teaches self-discipline, confidence, and pride in a job well done, and it offers them challenges and opportunities to:
Sharpen their communication skills
Promote and encourage citizenship through participation in community service projects
Develop their leadership potential
Strengthen their self-esteem
Improve their physical fitness
Provide incentives to live drug-free
Promote their graduation from high school and develop a solid foundation for career development

Sex Education Class
The Sexual Health and Responsibility Education Unit will be taught September 29 to October 8, 2025 (1st Semester) and February 20 to March 4, 2026, (2nd Semester) by the district health educators to students currently enrolled in PE I and JROTC 1. A general overview and outline of the district’s age appropriate, abstinence-based sexual health & responsibility education curriculum can be viewed on the district website under the Students & Parents Heading then scrolling to the Comprehensive Health & Physical Education link or by clicking HERE. Complete details including the slide presentation and videos can be previewed at the school anytime during the school day if you would like to view it. If you do not want your child to participate in the sexual health & responsibility education class or a specific portion of the class, you must bring the signed exemption form (linked HERE) to the front office in person. By School Board Policy and SC Comprehensive Health Education Law, students who exempt sexual health & responsibility education will be required to complete other health-related self-study lessons.
