JROTC is a service to our nation, as it provides Cadets the motivation and skills to improve physical fitness, remain drug free, think critically and creatively, communicate effectively, work as a team member, graduate from ºìÐÓÖ±²¥app school, pursue meaningful careers especially in the areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), and become successful citizens.
As a JROTC Cadet, students embark on one of the most interesting and valuable educational experiences of their ºìÐÓÖ±²¥app school career. The program provides students with tools and skills they need to succeed in ºìÐÓÖ±²¥app school and in life after ºìÐÓÖ±²¥app school.
Outcomes of the JROTC Programs:
- Act with integrity and personal accountability as they lead others to succeed in a diverse and global workforce;
- Engage civic and social concerns in the community, government, and society;
- Graduate prepared to excel in post-secondary options and career pathways;
- Make decisions that promote positive social, emotional, and physical health; and
- Value the role of the military and other service organizations.
Our JROTC programs instill in students the values of citizenship, service to the United States, personal responsibility, and a sense of accomplishment.
