What are the JROTC Programs?
Air Force and Army JROTC are citizenship programs designed to "Build Better Citizens." Students learn basic values and core principles such as "Integrity First," "Service before Self," and "Excellence in All We Do."
Cadets learn how to be successful in life, how to establish goals, how to effectively utilize their time, how to develop leadership skills, and how to serve their communities.
The more technical part of the program involves the study of Life Skills, Science of Flight, Aviation History, and Space Exploration.
Students learn the skills necessary to get ready for life after high school, whether that is entering the military, going to college, or starting their working careers.
There is no obligation to join the military. However, if you are thinking about joining the military after high school, you will receive a higher rank when you enlist, which means more pay.
Also, if you are considering going to college and becoming an officer, with JROTC experience you have a better chance of getting a full military scholarship.
Our students consider JROTC their “home away from home.”
