Students are introduced to the Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) program. JROTC is a program designed to teach leadership skills, character development, self-discipline, and citizenship through the study and practical application of United States Marine Corps (USMC) leadership traits and principles. Students are introduced to general military subjects, leadership, citizenship, personal growth and responsibilities, public service, and career exploration in the first year of this program.
Students electing to use JROTC 1 in 9th grade as a substitution for their physical education graduation requirement must enroll in the full-year health course in tenth grade. The health course will include ninth and tenth grade health, CPR, and Family Life Education. In-person courses will include Driver Education; however, if a school does not have the minimum enrollment to support an in-person health course, students will be enrolled in a virtual course. The virtual course will not include Driver Education and students will need to enroll in classroom driver education outside of Prince William County Public Schools.
Student must be able to participate in physical education program, dress in regulation uniform and meet and maintain the personal grooming standards
