NJROTC PREPARES YOU FOR LIFE!

NJROTC is a regular high school class taught during the normal school hours.  Developing a positive attitude about citizenship is the cornerstone of the program.  Courtesy, respect, and integrity are a few of the values we stress with the students.  We teach students what it takes to be a good leader and a good follower.  We also offer many extracurricular activities:  Academics & Leadership, Cyber Patriot, Color Guard, Drill Team, Rifle Marksmanship, Physical Fitness, a Summer Camp, fundraising and community service projects.  Our teams compete at various local, regional, state, and national competitions.  Varsity jackets and letters are awarded!

THERE IS NO MILITARY OBLIGATION WHATSOEVER!

No student is under any military obligation.  We do, however, use military methods and techniques of instruction to teach goal setting, teamwork, self-discipline, self-confidence and pride in a job well done.  Cadets wear the uniform one day every week.  All uniforms and equipment are provided free of charge.  NJROTC is an excellent choice if you are considering entering Military Service upon graduation, enrolling in ROTC at college, applying for an ROTC college scholarship, or applying for any of our U.S. Military Academies (i.e. West Point, Annapolis, Air Force, Coast Guard, or Merchant Marine Academies).
