Recruitment

Outreach visits: Atholton JROTC conducts out-reach visits to many of the Howard Country Middle Schools to provide information about our program as well as the Howard County policies as they relate to JROTC.   Our scheduled visits are:

• Clarksville Middle School - Nov 28th

• Dunloggin Middle School - Nov 20th

• Folly Quarter Middle School - Nov 14th

• Hammond Middle School - Nov 3rd

• Harpers Choice Middle School - Dec 5th

• Lake Elkhorn Middle School - Nov 27th

• Lime Kiln Middle School - Nov 16th

• Murray Hill Middle School - Nov 6th

• Patuxent Valley Middle School - Nov 9th

• Wilde Lake Middle School - Nov 8th

Enrollment:  Enrolling into the program is completed in one of two ways depending upon your 'status' with the school.

In-District Students:  Students that are districted to Atholton High School enroll by selecting JROTC as an elective course for next year.   When scheduling is completed, the student will be assigned/enrolled in JROTC.

Out-of-District Students:  Students that are districted to a high school other than one of the JROTC-host schools (Atholton, Howard, and Oakland Mills) must apply to each JROTC program they desire to attend.  JROTC is an academic class offered to 'resident' students at the host schools, so accepted applicants will be transferred to the respective host-school as full time students.  It's important to note that out-of-district student transportation to/from school is the parent's/guardian's responsibility - HCPSS does not provide busing for out-of-district students.  

The memo outlining the Out-of-District JROTC Application Process for Atholton JROTC is below.
