You will learn about the many benefits that JROTC can provide. You will also learn about the CA-954 Cadet Corps, curriculum, and co-curricular activities.
Our Cadet Corps is built on the Core Values of the United States Air Force:
Integrity First
Service Before Self
Excellence in All We Do.
Despite COVID, our unit has had an outstanding 2019-20, 2020-21, and 2021-22 school year. The CA-954 includes students from both Whitney High School and Rocklin High School (carpool system used for those that are interested).
The Corps recently underwent our Higher Headquarters Evaluation where we received the Distinguished Unit with Merit Award for our cadets many amazing accomplishments. This award/recognition allows the unit to nominate cadets to Service Academies, five each to the USAF Academy and the US Army Academy at West Point and three to the US Naval Academy at Annapolis.
CA-954 completed over 1,000 hours of Community Service throughout the Rocklin community this year, which is amazing since we have only been in classes for 4 months thus far. The hours are gained through numerous events supporting the city of Rocklin, local businesses, Rocklin and Whitney High Schools, Rocklin Unified School District School Board, and Veteran organizations.
In the last five years, nine seniors received various nominations to the Service Academies: Seven Congressional Nominations including the Military Academy at West Point, the Air Force Academy, the Naval Academy and the Merchant Marine Academy. The unit also received a senator nomination and five JROTC nominations to the Air Force Academy. Lastly, one cadet received a Presidential Nomination to the Naval Academy.
Of the nine nominees, two received an appointment to the United States Air Force Academy, one to the Military Academy at West Point, one to the Merchant Marine Academy, and one to the Naval Academy. In addition, one cadet received a $450,000 Navy ROTC Scholarship to North Carolina State University, four other cadets received a $180,000 US Air Force ROTC scholarships to Purdue University, UCLA, Utah State and San Diego State, one a $174,000 Army ROTC scholarship to Santa Barbara, and one received a $54,000 Air Force ROTC scholarship to Utah State University. In addition, fourteen former cadets are enrolled in various college ROTC programs.
In non-COVID years, the CA-954 cadets participate in all NorCal competitions against other JROTC units, where we typically place 1st or 2nd. Pre-COVID NorCal accomplishments include: Softball (1st Place), Basketball (1st Place), Soccer (1st Place), Volleyball (1st Place), and Fun Olympics with other Jr. ROTC Units.
The unit prides itself on our competition drill team. In four of the last five years, the CA-954th Drill Team took Sweepstakes (overall award) at the TITAN Invitational Drill Meet and the NORCAL Drill Meet.
JROTC utilizes an in-house tutoring program to provide effective peer tutoring. The unit has a goal each year to reduce the number of overall “No-Marks” received for all courses at the end of the first quarter by at least 40% at the end of the first semester. Senior cadets who have completed various AP and Honors courses are assigned tutor duties through a cadet education officer and conduct tutoring during PAWS Period, or before/after school.
