JROTC

Advisor: Master Sergeant John Millerton
JROTC is a program designed for students to learn and teach leadership, teamwork, student achievement, fitness and discipline. In addition to classroom instruction, JROTC has 3 extracurricular teams - Raiders, Drill, and Color Guard. The JROTC program offers the student credit towards a high school diploma, community service hours, and an introduction to service in the military. Note that future military service is NOT a requirement. 
Why do the students wear the uniform? Students wear the uniform to put all cadets on the same level. Any additions to the uniform are ranks and awards that are earned by the individual cadet. They are earned for application of positive traits and principles that will serve you and your community well in the future. 

What does JROTC stand for? JROTC stands for Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps. It is a military-regulated high school program whose purpose is to educate high school students in leadership roles while making them aware of the benefits of citizenship. The mission of JROTC is to motivate young people to become better citizens. 
 

Why do the students conduct drills or march?  JROTC uses drills and ceremonies as a well-defined, relatively easy-to-master training tool or vehicle.  This tool is used to teach and develop teamwork, leadership, instructional skills, attention to detail, bearing, respect for authority and for others, responsibility, and endurance. 

 

The Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (JROTC) is a federal program sponsored by the United States Armed Forces in high schools across the United States. The program was originally created as part of the National Defense Act of 1916 and later expanded under the 1964 ROTC Vitalization Act.
