Mission of The Army JROTC
The mission of the JROTC Department is "To motivate our cadets to be better citizens." The Department teaches a wide range of subjects designed to reinforce other areas of the academic curriculum such as study skills, communications, leadership, management, resume writing/career search techniques and citizenship. In addition, the JROTC program exposes our cadets to some basic life skills which will serve them well upon graduation. These include: problem solving and time management skills, race relations, drug and alcohol abuse prevention, personal fitness through proper diet and exercise, map reading, orienteering, and military drill.
The JROTC Program also provides cadets the opportunity to participate in a variety of competitive activities, such as Drill Teams and Adventure Training. The focus of the program is to develop within our cadets a sense of personal pride in a job well done, team work, self-discipline, and the desire to do the right thing.
