Navigation

The mission of JROTC is to motivate young people to be 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 Training (PT) credit; in addition, it offers team building, leadership, social etiquette, community service, school service, and service-learning projects.

After more than 17 years of “Making young people into better citizens”, I’ve arrived at my final destination to facilitate my 2036 retirement as a coach, mentor and JROTC instructor. This Education Village is exactly what I visioned as the place to collaborate with parents, educators and the key ingredient; the cadets, to make a program the cornerstone for student achievement and greatness. It is my pleasure to be part of one of the best teams I’ve served on my 27 years of military service and 17 years as an educator.

JROTC's Mission Statement

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 always practice good citizenship and patriotism.
