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.
Please email Rfore@tempeunion.org if you have any questions.
