JROTC helps students develop the ability to guide and lead others through class activities and team events. Cadets learn skills that they will carry all throughout their lives, such as: accountability, responsibility, and effective communication. These experiences prepare them to lead in their communities and future careers.

Cadets are encouraged to uphold strong personal values and make choices that will contribute to their own growth. This is built through consistency and taking accountability within the program. By practicing these skills, cadets learn a more profound sense of respect and individuality.

Citizenship is the understanding of one's role and responsibilities within a community. In the JROTC program, cadets are taught the importance of serving their community through participation in various volunteer service events. This teaches them how individual actions can strengthen their local community.
