Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC)

Program Overview:

The JROTC Mission is "To Motivate Young People To Be Better Citizens".

JROTC cadets receive instruction in Leadership, Citizenship, Health and Fitness, and First Aid among other topics that prepare them to be productive citizens. This education benefits not only them but also their community and the nation in the present and the future.

JROTC is NOT A MILITARY RECRUITING ORGANIZATION, though many JROTC cadets do go on to serve in our nation's military services.
