Chaperones

Supporting our Cadets Away from Home

Due to annual travel, event, and fundraising commitments, the Horn Lake High School MCJROTC is continually in need of county cleared and approved chaperones. If you are interested in being able to chaperone at any of our events or trips, please contact a booster club officer or MCJROTC instructor to begin the chaperone process.

Our Process for Approval

Interested potential chaperones must follow this process to become a county certified HLHS MCJROTC chaporone:

Step 1: Contact a booster club officer or MCJROTC instructor to receive booster/program approval

Note: Former cadets desiring to be chaperones will need to have four years lapse since high school graduation

Step 2: The Senior Marine Instructor will submit your nomination to the HLHS Principal for school approval

Step 3: Once you receive the approval to proceed, go to the following link and complete the background investigation. The payment for the investigation is currently $29.95.
