     1. High School Transition Assistance

    The teenage years are one of the most difficult times in life. It's a time of exploring, a time of challenging the old rules and relationships, and therefore, a time of great uncertainty. JROTC provides a haven outside of family that students can depend on and feel at home with. It instills ethics and morals they can stand on and grow from. JROTC provides a structure they are searching for; the rules and discipline they can accept; goals they are willing to pursue; interests that engage their minds, body and spirits; and all the support they need from both instructors and peers. The mastering of leadership techniques instills a quiet confidence that comes from knowing what they are capable of, and the character to do what it takes to accomplish their goals.

    2. College Assistance

    The JROTC program is recognized by colleges and perspective employers for its leadership building program. College applications give JROTC experience the same credit as an Eagle Scout award. Employers choose JROTC students over other applicants because of their dependability, integrity, leadership, and dependability. Military scholarships are worth up to $80,000. JROTC students have received regular college scholarships for marksmanship. The program can assist with much more than mere money; it provides students with the discipline and maturity skills needed to be successful in life.

    3. Adventure

    The JROTC program is one of the most dynamic programs in the school and offers a variety of fun and adventure activities such as Spring camp, drill and marksmanship competitions, First Aid training, Rappelling, and leadership reaction courses, and an opportunity to attend an actual military spring camp. These activities are all optional and not required for the grade.

Unlike other classes, JROTC teaches tolerance and empathy. JROTC is all about teamwork. Every student has a job and every job is important to the Battalion.

    5. Build Self-Confidence and Self-Esteem

    The JROTC program builds self-confidence and self-esteem through leadership training and responsibility. Second year students are given leadership positions and are taught to set sound goals. They are closely mentored by the instructors and senior cadets. These new leaders are guided to learn from their mistakes so that they can continually improve their leadership skills. Cadets are recognized with numerous ribbons, medals and rank. These newly acquired skills of organization, self-discipline and responsibility are quickly noted in their other high school classes, extracurricular activities, jobs, and homes.
