    The U.S. Army Junior Reserve Officer Training Corp (JROTC) is a program of courses, 9th through 12th grades. The mission of JROTC is to motivate young people to be better citizens. Consequently, the major thrust of the program is good citizenship and all that word implies: integrity, responsibility, and respect for constituted authority, patriotism, effective interpersonal relationships, and communications. The expected learning outcome of the JROTC experience are positive self-images and leadership skills enabling the student to function better in a more demanding arena, civilian or military.

    Of course, there is no obligation for future military service. Uniforms are loaned to the cadets on a no-cost basis.

    Classes meet daily, like any other course. Tuesdays and Thursdays are usually classroom days. Subjects include first aid, rifle safety and marksmanship, military history, leadership theory, and other sub-courses designed to help students succeed in school and develop as leaders and individuals. Cadets also learn of opportunities available after graduation in military service and of college scholarships.

    Wednesdays are Inspection days. Cadets are inspected and graded on preparation of the uniform and their personal appearance. Mondays and Fridays are outdoor classes and feature military drill and sports.
