JROTC Curriculum Overview

The JROTC curriculum aligns with national education standards, including Common Core and CTE pathways. It emphasizes leadership, citizenship, global awareness, wellness, life skills, and U.S. history — all delivered through a performance-based, student-centered model.

More important than what is taught is how it’s learned. JROTC classrooms integrate technology, simulations, and collaborative tools to boost emotional intelligence and academic performance. Cadets track growth through personal portfolios that demonstrate real-world outcomes and leadership progress.
