Family and friends of Terry Parker High School NJROTC, THANK YOU for your tremendous support and encouragement over the past years. Our program is now in the stage of growth and rebuilding following the few years of COVID. As we move forward, we are excited about all the new opportunities and challenges that will make Terry Parker NJROTC a success and a force to be reckoned with.
There are many opportunities for Cadets and parents to participate in and help support the Unit.
Teams: Drill, Color Guard, Brain Brawl, Orienteering, Air Rifle, Drone, and Athletics
Competitions Hosted at Terry Parker: Pentathlon, Drill, and Brain Brawl
Community Service/Volunteer Hours: JP Hall, American Legion, Spartan Run, The PLAYERS Championship, and many more.
We will continue to focus on Leadership, Academics, Scholarships, and Discipline. All Cadets and Instructors are expected to set the highest example throughout the school and wherever we go.
Once again, we thank you for supporting us at competitions, on field trips, and while performing community service; for that, thank you so much. Please continue to spread the word about our excellent NJROTC program to others. We need YOUR help to differentiate between TPHS NJROTC being an average or superior unit!
The mission at Terry Parker High School Naval Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps is to empower cadets and encourage them to continue their education, establish and achieve both personal and team goals, and teach them how to become great American citizens. Cadets are taught in four different classes and coached on nine teams participating in Academic, Drill, Orienteering, and Shoulder to Shoulder (Marksmanship) competitions. This year we will continue to maintain Battalion strength, with over 150 local cadets ranging from 14 to 19 years of age.
In addition to traveling to numerous competitions yearly, our cadets visit military bases, ships, submarines, and aircraft squadrons. Annually, TPHS NJROTC expects to perform 4,000 or more community service hours in Duval and Clay County, with another 1200 hours of school service. TPHS NJROTC supports events and groups such as Adopt-A-Road, The ALS Foundation, American Legion, JP Hall/Bikes for Tykes, Special Olympics, and many others. Giving back is part of learning good citizenship.
