JROTC programs provide instruction and rewarding opportunities that will benefit the student, community, and nation by teaching young adults self-discipline, self-confidence, and leadership skills. JROTC programs are conducted at accredited secondary schools by instructors who are retired Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, and Navy officers and enlisted personnel.

Check with your counselor to see which JROTC branch is offered at your school.
