What is the purpose of JROTC?
"To Motivate Young People to be Better Citizens."
The Army Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) is a program offered to high schools that teaches students character education, student achievement, wellness, leadership, and diversity. It is a cooperative effort between the Army and the high schools to produce successful students and citizens, while fostering in each school a more constructive and disciplined learning environment. The outcomes of the JROTC program are:
Act with integrity and personal accountability as they lead others to succeed in a diverse and global workforce
Engage civic and social concerns in the community, government, and society
Graduate prepared to excel in post-secondary options and career pathways
Make decisions that promote positive social, emotional, and physical health
Value the role of the military and other service organizations
With the school’s support, the JROTC program achieves these outcomes by using a world-class 21st Century, technology driven, student centered curriculum. The curriculum consists of education in citizenship, leadership, social and communication skills, physical fitness and wellness, geography, and civics.
The Douglas MacArthur HS Brahma Battalion is a designated Honor Unit with Distinction Army JROTC program. It is a part of the North East Independent School District in San Antonio Texas. JROTC is a leadership course that is military based. Although cadets will learn military style drill and academics, there is no obligation to join the military. However, the training you receive will help prepare you for a career and ROTC scholarship opportunities. The battalion is nationally recognized and boasts numerous championships. Aside from a winning tradition in Drill, Air Rifle, CyberPatriot, Raider, Orienteering, Leadership and Academics, the Brahma Battalion is very active in the community. The main objective of the program is to motivate young people to be better citizens and to help cadets prepare for a future career. Most cadets do more than that by joining special teams which are highly recommended but not required.
