Army JROTC's Mission Statement

To motivate young people to become better citizens.

Our program is designed to prepare students as they transition after high school. This transition process can stem from University, College, Technical School, Military career, or the workforce. With these tools, students gain a sense of confidence, pride, dignity and focus with their lives. This program offers more than a physical education credit; in addition, it offers team building, leadership opportunities, community service, school service, service-learning projects and scholarship prospects.

The question is which type will you be?

Army Junior ROTC Cadet Creed

I am an Army Junior ROTC Cadet.

I will always conduct myself to bring credit to my family, country, school, and the Corps of Cadets.

I am loyal and patriotic.

I am the future of the United States of America.

I do not lie, cheat, or steal and will always be accountable for my actions and deeds.

I will always practice good citizenship and patriotism.

I will work hard to improve my mind and strengthen my body.

I will seek the mantel of leadership and stand prepared to uphold the Constitution and the American way of life.

May God grant me the strength to always live by this creed.
