CDH JROTC Department

The mission of JROTC is “to motivate young people to be better citizens.”  This is accomplished through a systematic progression of learning focused on citizenship, leadership, personal responsibility, and service to the school and community.  At the same time the program builds self-esteem, teamwork, self- discipline and a sense of accomplishment.  The purpose of JROTC is to prepare high school students for responsible leadership roles and to be participating citizens by making them aware of their rights, responsibilities and privileges as Americans.  Many optional activities sponsored by the JROTC Department create additional practical leadership and service opportunities for students who desire them.  The four-year Leadership Education and Training (LET) curriculum is structured to enable students to enroll at any time during their high school career.  It is comprised of the following sub-courses with the yearly content noted.
