• What does the JROTC High School program offer me that I can't get anywhere else?

    Posted by:
    The JROTC program has a lot to offer young men and women who want to get the most out
    of their high school years. What you will learn in the program will be useful to you now and in
    the future because much of the instruction and experience you will receive isn't available any
    other way at the high school level. JROTC gives you the chance to acquire many life skills and leadership abilities, but its primary objective is to develop good citizenship
    and patriotism in each student.

    Posted by:
    Yes. A cadet may still join the Coast Guard, Navy, Air Force, or Marine Corps if they so
    choose. The JROTC program will focus mainly on the Army and its role in the world, but
    there are many opportunities to learn about any of the other branches of the military and the
    jobs that they have to offer.
