(See memo) Course Description: Junior Reserved Officers' Training Corps (JROTC) Leadership Education and Training. This course provides and introduction to JROTC in areas of American citizenship, JROTC leadership, drill and ceremonies, military customs and courtesies, proper wearing of the uniform, physical fitness training, and techniques of communication. The mission of JROTC is to motivate young people to become better citizens. We do this by teaching cadet’s discipline, motivation, teamwork and leadership. We get them involved in community activities to show them how they can make a difference. We teach cadets the seven values that all leaders and followers should possess: Loyalty, Honor, Selfless Service, Duty, Integrity, Personal Courage, and Respect. As you can see, this is just the tip of the iceberg on what we offer your child. There are many other subjects we cover, such as Foundations for Success, Citizenship and American History, and Leadership Theory and Application. Our goal is not to recruit your child into the military, but they will be exposed to the outstanding opportunities associated with military service. One of the benefits of participating in our program is the advanced promotion in the enlisted ranks which is a significant increase in pay. The bottom line: we are here to equip your child with the prerequisite skill sets required for success in the military, higher education or civilian workforce. There are some physical requirements in JROTC that contribute to the PE credit being awarded. Your child will be required to participate in physical training every Friday, unless they have an excuse note from you or a doctor. We try to make it physically challenging, but also fun with various sports and other teambuilding activities. We expect them to have appropriate physical training attire and give an honest effort.
