JROTC stands for Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps and is a program designed to develop leadership, character, and responsibility in students while motivating them to be better citizens. This program prepares students for leadership roles while making them aware of their rights, responsibilities, and privileges as Americans. JROTC also promotes graduation from high school and provides instructional opportunities that benefit the student and the community.
JROTC is NOT a recruitment program and there is no military obligation. However, this class does show Cadets future career opportunities in the military and introduces them to military history and customs.
Throughout the year, Cadets have the opportunity to participate in events in the community. These can include competitions, parades, a Service Learning Project, a military ball, and an annual brigade review.
Every JROTC unit has a form of cadet staff that assists in running the battalion. Each staff job is similar to the ones the U.S. Army and Air Force provide officers. Staff officers earn their position over the years they have been in JROTC by displaying excellent leadership and responsibility.
