COURSE DESCRIPTION: The Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) is a three year voluntary program, with select individuals returning as staff during their senior year, that teaches high school students (also known as Cadets) the value of citizenship, leadership, service to the community, personal responsibility, and a sense of accomplishment, while instilling in them self-esteem, teamwork, and self-discipline. The mission statement reflects the overall meaning and purpose of JROTC, which is “To Motivate Young People to be Better Citizens” by preparing high school students for responsible leadership roles while making them aware of their rights, responsibilities, and privileges as American citizens. The program promotes graduation from high school by providing curriculum, Leadership Education and Training (LET), and rewarding opportunities that will benefit the student, community, and nation in the present and future. JROTC is a four year program that builds upon the previous year’s accomplishments.  Under typical progression, cadets fall into the following categories:

Freshman - LET I Cadet 

Sophomores - LET II Cadet

Juniors - LET III Cadet 

Seniors - LET IV Cadet (select strong leaders)
