TO DEVELOP CITIZENS OF CHARACTER
"The purpose of the Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps is to instill in high school cadets the values of citizenship, service to the United States, personal responsibility, and a sense of accomplishment." (10 USC Sec 2031).
At Lowell High School, our cadets take great pride in their community involvement and academic excellence.
Core values are the foundation for an apex-quality Air Force Junior ROTC program. Core values are also fundamental guidelines that can serve you throughout your life. MA-771 promotes the following U.S. Air Force Core Values for all its cadets:
-INTEGRITY FIRST-
Integrity means being devoted to honesty and truthfulness, to doing one’s duty and acting in what is right. It means that your word can always be counted upon and that you can be trusted to accomplish your job.
-SERVICE BEFORE SELF-
Service is the giving of self to provide for the welfare of others. Personal desires are not considered in the concept of service.
-EXCELLENCE IN ALL WE DO-
Excellence means doing the very best you can in each job you perform, regardless of how large, small, difficult, or easy it is to accomplish.
-CADET HONOR CODE-
WE WILL NOT LIE, CHEAT, OR STEAL, NOR WILL WE TOLERATE ANYONE AMONG US WHO DOES.
