LEADERSHIP EDUCATION AND TRAINING - JROTC

The JROTC mission is to motivate young people to be better citizens. JROTC teaches high school students 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.  It prepares high school students for responsible leadership roles by giving practical lessons that help them develop into active and engaged learners and leaders, while making them aware of their rights, responsibilities, and privileges as American citizens.  Furthermore, the program promotes academic achievement and leadership development, providing cadets with skills that they will use for the rest of their lives. 

**JROTC is not a recruitment tool for the United States Armed Services.
