JROTC

The William G. Enloe High School Army JROTC Program was established in the 2011-2012 school year. The Army JROTC mission is: "To Motivate Young People To Be Better Citizens." The course carries a full elective credit. The JROTC curriculum includes: Character and Leadership Development, Foundations of Success, Leadership Theory and Application, Citizenship and American History, Wellness, Fitness and First Aid, Geography and Earth Science, Financial Management and Service Learning.

In addition to maintaining exceptional curriculum grades and wearing the uniform once a week, JROTC cadets support a wide range of school and community activities. They participate in parades, summer camp, a formal military ball, color guard presentations, school assemblies, raider competitions, drill competitions, and basketball games. They take field trips to places, which are historical, educational, interesting, and fun. Cadets organize fund-raising and participate in patriotic projects.

Who should take this course?

JROTC is one of the few classes designed to help everyone. It helps stem friendships to new and old students, it helps raise grades in confident and struggling students, and it better prepares all students for life, current and future. Successful completion of JROTC I and JROTC II will serve as an substitution for NC's Healthful Living requirement.

We are not an army preparatory class. We do not train cadets in military sciences nor do we enlist cadets into the military. Cadets are not required to enlist in any branch of military service upon completion of this course although if a cadet wishes to continue his/her military career in college, the cadet will start at a higher rank upon completion (2 years) of this course.
