Southern Regional High School AFJROTC Mission:

  The mission of the Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFJROTC) is to Develop Citizens of Character, Dedicated to Serving Their Nation and Community. The purpose of 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). The Air Force's Core Values of Integrity First, Service Before Self, and Excellence In All We Do, serve as a foundation for the AFJROTC program. At Southern Regional High School, our cadets take great pride in their community involvement and academic excellence.

This course is taught by RETIRED members of the Air Force in which were hired by the Southern Regional Board of Education and certified by the state of New Jersey to teach life skills and military science. 

Taking Junior ROTC requires absolutely NO MILITARY OBLIGATION and IN NO WAY encourages students to join any branch of the military service. However, those cadets who wish to enlist in the military after graduation are afforded advanced rank and pay.

 Program Objectives:

To educate and train high school cadets in citizenship, promote community service, instill responsibility, character, and self-discipline, and provide instruction in air and space fundamentals.

Drill Team:

Junior ROTC has a drill team, following a color guard team. This team competes against other Junior ROTC Units (Air Force, Army, Navy, Marines). The Drill Team meets Mon-Fri 0600 - 0730. These meets are used as practices to prepare the team for any upcoming drill events. It is a great way to get involved in the program.

Honor Code:

"I will not lie, cheat, or steal, nor tolerate anyone among us who does. Furthermore, I will live an honorable life."
