JROTC Dress uniform: We have begun issuing uniforms and will continue to do so through next week. Wednesday is our dress uniform wear and inspection day. Cadets are expected to wear the uniform correctly to JROTC, they do not have to wear it for the remainder of the school day, although we encourage them to do so. The dress uniform is provided at no cost, as long as it’s returned.

Physical training uniform: Cadets must wear their BN physical training shirt and appropriate clothing to work out on Fridays for our class. After class they may change. The BN PT shirt is $10 and can be purchased from us, it’s not at the bookstores. Have a cadet talk to us privately if a hardship exists and we’ll make sure they get a shirt.

Battalion review: We will be hosting our first BN review on September 10th, at 7 am in the MDN gym annex.We will be promoting those who have earned their promotion. Please join us to celebrate your students' achievement. We will be creating a sign up for those willing and able to donuts some snacks as we want to provide the Cadets with some refreshments afterwards

Rifle Team: The rifle team members have been selected and notified and practice is underway. Team members need to get their physicals done.

Raider Team: Workouts will be Tue, Thurs, & Fri from 0600-0700 in the MDN Gym Annex. We highly recommend cadets bring hygiene items and a change of clothing each day, locker rooms are available for after practice. I have sent home information and permission slips with cadets who said they were interested. Cadets may participate in try outs without the physical.

Physicals: PHYSICALS ARE ONLY FOR THOSE PARTICIPATING IN THE RAIDER OR RIFLE TEAM. Physicals must be completed in Aktivate. Please go to the following link to access Athletics/Activities participation paperwork. Although this is the Marcos page, it still has information as it pertains to your school.

The sport you are looking for is named “JROTC Raider/Riffle Team”.

JROTC is designed to prepare high school students/cadets for responsible leadership roles in society. The program has proven to stimulate students to excel in high school and in life after graduation. Students with positive attitudes and who want to be leaders will gain the most from this learning experience. Our curriculum supports these outcomes...

• Act with integrity and personal accountability as you lead others to succeed in a diverse and global workforce

•  Engage in civic and social concerns in the community, government, and society

•  Graduate prepared to succeed 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

PARTICIPATING IN JROTC DOES NOT REQUIRE MILITARY SERVICE

We are not Drill Sergeants.

We are not Recruiters. We work for the school district.

This is an elective class, and 2 successful years of JROTC provides your PE credit necessary for graduation.

The lessons are designed to provide the maximum growth opportunity for each cadet. Cadets receive military style training and discipline fostering obedience and teamwork. Training is organized into four levels designated as Leadership Education and Training (LET) Levels I, II, III, and IV. Each succeeding year introduces increasing leadership and staff opportunities. 

We sponsor extra-curricular teams that compete statewide against other JROTC programs. These teams are the Armed and Unarmed Drill Teams, Color Guard, JLAB, Rifle Team, and Adventure Team. Teams may qualify to compete out-of-state to Brigade, Army Championships or National Championships.
