The mission of the JROTC Program is "to motivate young people to be better citizens" by providing instruction in and application of good citizenship and character, responsibility, leadership development, self-worth, communication skills, problem solving, discipline, respect, ethics and wellness of body, mind and spirit, which will benefit the student, the community and the nation. JROTC is an elective which carries absolutely no military obligation. The program is based on a systematic progression of learning that is designed for the cadet's development and maturity at each grade level. The scope and focus of instruction is, therefore, sequential, building upon the previous year's curriculum.
The program consists of 4 LET (Leadership, Education and Training) levels that progress from Freshman to Senior year. During the first school year of JROTC, LET1 students receive instruction in Lifetime Wellness and basic JROTC history and function. Students that take JROTC for a full year will gain one elective credit, each subsequent school year earns another JROTC elective credit. Students that take JROTC multiple years may earn a substitute credit that will satisfy the graduation requisite in Wellness, 1/2 credit of PE, 1/2 credit of personal finance, and 1/2 core credit for U.S. Government, as well as meet the 3 elective requirements of the Humanities Focus.
