What is JROTC?

JROTC is not just for those students who are interested in serving in the military!

In fact, less than 5% of students enrolled in JROTC ever join a branch of the service.
However, we will assist those students who desire to achieve their goal to serve in the military.
Instructors also assist JROTC students to achieve their post-secondary goals for college scholarships, college enrollments, A+ benefits, and trade schools
Our main goal is to provide citizenship and leadership development focusing on those Essential Learning Skills (Soft Skills) necessary for today's competitive workforce.
