ARMY JROTC - A CLASS LIKE NO OTHER IN SCHOOL!
The mission of JROTC is to motivate young people to be better citizens.

 

Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps (JROTC)

Leadership Education and Training (LET) Class:  This class has four levels, LET 1-4. These classes are designed to teach the values of citizenship, leadership, service to the community, and personal responsibility, and give a sense of accomplishment while instilling self-esteem, teamwork, and self-discipline. The program’s focus is reflected in its mission statement, “To Motivate Young People to be Better Citizens.” JROTC’s performance-based curriculum requires that cadets master the competencies, do the skills, apply the knowledge, and model or exhibit behaviors representing the desired attitudes. A custom-fitted uniform is worn once a week on the designated uniform day. There is no obligation to join the armed forces; however, satisfactory completion of two years can lead to advanced rank in the armed forces. College ROTC scholarships are available for outstanding students meeting college entrance requirements.

The Color Guard has the honor of presenting the colors in various activities both school and non-school related.  The Color Guard travels with the Drill Team to drill events where they will compete against other schools.  The Color Guard typically consists of four members: two holding flags and two with rifles.
