What is JROTC?
JROTC is a U. S. Marine Corps
sponsored character and leadership
development course focused on
developing self-confidence, discipline,
citizenship, leadership skills, and a
sense of responsibility within the
individual Cadet.
What is JROTC is NOT?
The course is not a military recruitment
program. Cadets who attend have no
obligation to enter military service.
Neither is it a "boot camp" to send
uncontrollable, disrespectful, or apathetic
youth. The student must elect to participate
in this program.

JROTC GRADUATES
Cadet Requirements
Cadets will be required to wear a
military uniform at least once a
week for the entire school day.
Typically, this will be every
Wednesday ALL DAY
Cadet Requirements
Teachers who have JROTC Cadets
in their classes are encouraged to
inform the JROTC Instructors if a
cadet is NOT in uniform. This will
help us help them learn
responsibility!
Cadet Requirements
All cadets will be required to maintain
minimum acceptable grooming standards in
everyday dress as well as in uniform.
Male Cadets will be required to shave,
maintain a "military" style haircut, and will
NOT be allowed to wear earrings.
GROOMING
Hair of male cadets will be tapered in the
back with sideburns no longer than the
orifice of the ear, neatly trimmed. Hair will not
fall over the ears or eyebrows and the hair on
top will not interfere with normal wear of the
military cover. Male cadets will always be
clean-shaven except that a moustache may
be worn if neatly trimmed. Hair of female
cadets when in uniform will be pinned and
arranged so that it will not fall below the
collar of the uniform being worn. Hair will not
be worn in such a way that the uniform cover
cannot be worn properly.
This is a NO-NO Cadets!
No - No
Cadet Requirements
The most important requirement of the
Cadet is a cooperative attitude and
willingness to attempt new experiences.
Cadets who refuse to make an effort or
are disobedient will be dropped from
the program.
Who is eligible to
participate?
Any student in grades 9 through 12
who is enrolled at Horn Lake High
School. All candidates must be
physically qualified to participate in the
rigorous physical training aspects of
the program.
What is the cost to
attend?
There is no cost to enroll in the program.
Cadets will be issued a number of uniforms
which will be their responsibility to maintain
and must be returned at the end of the
academic year. Articles which are lost or
damaged beyond normal wear and tear will
be replaced at the Cadet's expense.
What are the benefits of
participating?
This is an elective class which meets the
graduation requirement for physical
education.
Cadets are also provided an opportunity to
assist in their community through Program
sponsored "civic service" activities.
What are the benefits of
participating?
JROTC provides regular feedback on how well the Cadet
is doing in the form of promotions and military type
awards.
What are the benefits of
participating?
Additionally, many students indicate that the friendships they make while a
Cadet are some of the most steadfast associations they have while in high
school.
What are the benefits of
participating?
Finally, while this is not a military
recruitment program, some Cadets choose
to serve our nation in a branch of the armed
forces. Those Cadets completing just two
years of Junior ROTC can enter the service
at a higher rank and pay.
