The Army Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) is a program offered to schools that teaches character education, student achievement, wellness, leadership, and diversity. It is a cooperative effort between the Army and school to produce successful students and citizens, while fostering a more constructive and disciplined learning environment. The outcomes of the JROTC program are:

• Act with integrity and personal accountability as they lead others to succeed in a diverse and global workforce
• Engage civic and social concerns in the community, government, and society
• Graduate prepared to excel in post-secondary options and career pathways
• Make decisions that promote positive social, emotional, and physical health
• Value the role of the military and other service organizations

With the school’s support, the JROTC program achieves these outcomes by using a world-class 21st Century, technology driven, student centered curriculum. The curriculum consists of education in citizenship, leadership, social and communication skills, physical fitness and wellness, geography, and civics.
