Lugoff-Elgin JROTC

Events

As an active presence in the Lugoff-Elgin community, LEHS JROTC participates in a number of local events.

Veteran's Day

Veteran's Day (November 11) will be honored on Monday (November 11th) with an assembly for the Veterans in the community. All Veterans who have served or are currently serving are welcomed as Honored Guests. The Ceremony will begin at 8:30 am for you military types!!

Parades

Currently, we are annual participants in three parades: The Catfish Stomp of Elgin, the Lights of Lugoff, and the Veteran's Day Parade of Columbia.

Blood Drive

Every semester Lugoff-Elgin’s JROTC hosts a blood drive for those in need. Must be 16 or older to donate and if you are 16 you need parental consent. Each school year, JROTC sponsors a Blood Drive each semester in October and March.

Wreaths Across America

Wreaths Across America is a non-profit organization that places wreaths upon the headstones at our nation's national cemeteries in remembrance of US veterans. LEHS JROTC is proud to say that we annually support this great cause by bringing volunteer cadets to Kershaw County's Quaker Cemetery to assist in placing wreaths upon the graves in this solemn event. This year over 800 wreaths were laid to honor veterans at our site.

Service Learning

Our cadets help our community in many ways. One of the most important parts of any cadet's JROTC experience at LEHS is Service Learning. Service Learning is specialized community service geared towards building character and responsibility in students to further our program mission.

Military Ball

The JROTC programs of each high school in the Kershaw County School District annually hold a joint Military Ball in the early Spring. This formal occasion is designed to unite all JROTC programs in Kershaw County for the purpose of allowing cadets to experience a formal evening ball filled with dining, dancing, and respect towards both JROTC and the United States Military.

JCLC

JCLC is a camp at Fort Jackson for JROTC cadets. At JCLC you will go through some of the fun parts of basic like: the 40 foot wall, drown proofing, high ropes and low ropes, canoeing, archery, air rifle shooting, confidence course and etc. You will sleep in barracks separated by gender and will eat 3 times a day.
