Page High School has one of the largest JROTC programs around with over 300 cadets. One out of every three students at Page High School is a JROTC cadet. This number tripled over the last 5 years and is projected to grow even greater in the years to come. The word has gotten out about Page High School's JROTC Patriot Battalion.
What Is JROTC?
Junior ROTC is designed to teach high school students the value of citizenship, leadership, service to the community, personal responsibility, and a sense of accomplishment, while instilling in them self-esteem, teamwork, and self-discipline. Its focus is reflected in its mission statement, "To motivate young people to be better citizens." It prepares high school students for responsible leadership roles while making them aware of their rights, responsibilities, and privileges as American citizens. The program is a stimulus for promoting graduation from high school, and it provides instruction and rewarding opportunities that will benefit the student, community, and nation.
What JROTC Isn't
Junior ROTC is not a recruitment tool.
Its focus is on developing young people and orienting them positively in preparation for whatever role in life they might choose.
Cadets are organized into units along military lines and are taught by retired military personnel, but Junior ROTC does not recruit students for military service.
