Junior ROTC is a voluntary class which qualifies as an elective for any of the North Carolinagraduation and course of study requirements.  It is highly recommended for students who are interested in college-level military education such as service academy appointments and college ROTC scholarships, in addition to those students who plan to enlist in any branch of the military following high school.  The course is also recommended to any student who has a general interest in military concepts of training, physical fitness and discipline.  Only a fraction of our students follow through with military service but all receive an appreciation for the challenges and benefits available to those who choose to serve. 

Note: Students who enroll in JROTC for the first time after their sophomore year will normally be placed in the JROTC class appropriate to their age group, i.e. seniors enrolling for the first time are not required to take JROTC I and will be placed in JROTC III or IV based on class availability.
