Mission
The primary purpose of the MCJROTC Program is Leadership Education. It prepares high school students for responsible leadership roles while making them aware of their rights, responsibilities, and privileges as American citizens. In order to be a good leader, one must first learn to be a good follower. As a cadet gains experience and knowledge, he or she will be given active, hands-on leadership responsibilities with the JROTC Program.
The following list is a sampling of benefits the Marine Corps Junior ROTC Program offers:
- Improve self esteem
- Increase time management skills
- Develop leadership skills
- Grow respect toward authority
- Become more adventurous
- Learn and appreciate the military
- Belong to a worthwhile organization
- Be proud to be an American
