The JROTC Curriculum
The curriculum, taught by retired military professionals, encompasses a
broad spectrum of subjects, including:
Junior ROTC awards academic grades, but its true measures of success are
the young people it motivates to stay in school and graduate. It also develops the personal confidence and pride in self to
avoid drugs and other negative peer pressures, and attain life skills that enhance success after graduation.
Established by Congress in 1916, Army Junior ROTC has demonstrated over
the decades that it works! Junior ROTC Cadets generally graduate from high school at a higher rate than the school as a whole,
and principals, parents, and former cadets consistently endorse the positive impact that Junior ROTC has had on the school,
the community and the cadets themselves.
