Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps
Stafford Schools offer Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) programs for the four branches of the United States Military, each housed in specific high schools. Here's a summary of the JROTC programs available:
Each JROTC program offers a sequence of courses (Military Science I, II, III, IV) with increasing complexity and depth in subjects relevant to the respective military branches. The courses cover aspects like citizenship, leadership, discipline, physical fitness, technical knowledge, and career opportunities in the military.
These programs aim to develop students' leadership skills, instill discipline, and offer exposure to various aspects of military education and service without obligating participation in the military. They also encourage community involvement, service learning, and teamwork through hands-on activities and leadership roles within the cadet community.
