4. COURSE DESCRIPTION: JROTC is a congressionally mandated and funded course for
High School students. It is a 4 year course emphasizing citizenship and leadership with the
program's focus reflected by the mission statement, "To motivate young people to be better
citizens.” It 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. JROTC is the centerpiece of the Department of
Defense's commitment to America's Promise for Youth through its emphasis on service learning,
community service and teen anti-drug efforts.
5. COURSE OBJECTIVES: JROTC 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.
1
Specific program outcomes describing what JROTC cadets will know and be able to do upon
successful completion of the course include:
a. Maximizing potential for success through learning and self-management
b. The development of leadership skills
c. Incorporating principles of mental and physical wellness into behaviors and
decisions
d. Building effective relationships with peers, co-workers, and the community
e. Applying physical and political geography to building global awareness
f. Correlating the rights and responsibilities of citizenship to the purposes of U.S. Government
g. Relating events in U.S. history to choices and responsibilities Americans have today
h. Characterizing the role of the military and other national service organizations in building a
democracy and maintaining peace in a democratic society.
The JROTC curriculum also aids in the development of broad, life-long skills that are
essential for success in the cadet's life and future career roles. These skills are not learned
in one lesson or LET (Leadership, Education and Training) but are linked to lesson
competencies and integrated throughout the curriculum. Additional core abilities which
each cadet will learn include:
a. Building the capacity for life-long learning
b. Communicating using verbal, non-verbal, visual, and written techniques
c. Taking responsibility for your actions and choices
d. Doing your share as a good citizen in your school, community, country, and the world
e. Treating yourself and others with respect
f. Applying critical thinking abilities
6. COURSE PREREQUISITES: Enrollment in JROTC is strictly voluntary, however
some restrictions do apply. Cadets who have been convicted by a civil court for other
than minor offenses require a waiver before they may be enrolled in JROTC, or for
continued enrollment following such conviction. All cadets must participate in all
JROTC events, including marching and physical fitness, and parents are required
to certify that they are in good health and able to participate in these activities.
JROTC classes are taught sequentially beginning with the freshman year, and build on
the skills learned in prior years. In no case will a cadet be allowed to enroll in the next
year's LET if they received a failing grade (F) in JROTC in the prior academic year. They
must retake either the entire LET or the semester they failed first.
7. CONTENT: The JROTC curriculum is a 180 hour academic program awarding full
elective credit for each year completed. Each year is taught sequentially (starting with
LET 1 and progressing through LET 4), and is a required prerequisite for the next. The
JROTC curriculum is characterized by active learning, and is aligned with the McRel
(Mid-continent Research for Education and Learning) national standards.
The curriculum also includes a number of additional activities unique to JROTC cadets,
such as the Drill Team, the Color Guard, the Raider, and the Rifle Team (classified as a
varsity sport), along with the associated competitive events and meetings.
There is also the opportunity to attend a one-week summer camp which stresses
adventure-type training. Finally, there will be a formal military ball scheduled each year.
Specific courses and hours taught to each LET level include the following:

**Cadets are expected to give an oral presentation using the JROTC Presentation
Rubric Sheet worth 100 point, cadets see your Instructor rubric format. Format will
consist of organization, content, delivery, visual aids, and appearance. Cadets this is a
timed event.
EVALUATION AND GRADING: Cadets are constantly being evaluated whether in
JROTC class or not. In addition to the school policies on grooming and behavior, which
will be adhered to by all cadets, there are additional policies that are unique to JROTC,
such as wearing the Army uniform correctly all day. As a general rule, if a cadet is
where they are supposed to be, when they are supposed to be there, and doing what they
are supposed to be doing to the best of their abilities, they will receive a good grade in
JROTC. With the exception of missing one of the mandatory events, extra credit and
makeup work will be assigned for cadets needing to improve their grades. a. Grading
Categories: The semester grade will be comprised of the following items and
percentages.
(1) Daily performance and participation: 20%
(2) Quizzes: 5%
(3) Tests and Exams: 20%
(4) Attitude/Performance: 10%
(5) Wear of the Uniform/personal appearance 35%
(6) Cooperation 10%
A=4.0 (90-100) B=3.0(80-89) C=2.0(70-79) D=1.0F=0(69 OR BELOW)
8. DATES TO REMEMBER/ DEADLINES. The following dates and events are
tentative, and changes will be announced in class and posted on the school/JROTC
website's calendar. Specific details about drill competitions, rifle matches, and other
3
team-specific competitive events and practices will be published separately. There will
also be many opportunities for cadets to volunteer in school and community activities
throughout the year to earn community service hours, which enhance college
applications. While all cadets are expected to attend and participate in class and all
JROTC events, some events are classified as mandatory. Missing a mandatory event
will result in the cadet receiving a failing grade for that event.
The only exceptions will be if there was a verified family emergency (such as a death or
serious illness) or if a doctor's excuse is presented. The following are classified as ARC
JROTC mandatory events, and must be attended: However, please be mindful that
there is a reduction in funding of RCBOE JROTC Programs, especially when it
comes to bus transportation. Here’s the bottom line, buses may not be available to
support the mandatory events and if that is the case, we will not penalize the cadets.

b. Another important event requiring emphasis is JCLC (Joint Cadet Leadership
Challenge), commonly called JROTC Summer Camp, normally held at Ft. Gordon, GA
in early June of each year. While space is limited, all eligible cadets are encouraged to
apply. Specific details on this event will be published separately.
c. Weekly Uniform Days. Uniform wear and appearance comprises 35% of a cadet's
grade. Cadets will normally wear the complete U.S. Army cadet uniform on Wednesday
of each week. The uniform will be worn the entire school day, and will be worn correctly
at all times. If for some reason they are unable to wear the uniform on uniform day, or if
10
there is a schedule change where their normally scheduled JROTC class does not meet,
they must wear it on the next day they have JROTC in order to receive a makeup grade.
A typical ARC JROTC week consists of classrooms instruction on Monday and Tuesday.
Wednesday is uniform inspection/promotions. Thursday is designated as leadership
lab/drills-marching and ceremonies. Friday is physical fitness training.
d. Physical Training (PT) Days. All cadets will conduct physical training/organized
sports on Friday’s. On this day, cadets must bring their physical training shoes and
clothing with them to JROTC class. There will be no makeup days for PT. On alternating
Friday’s cadets PT training will focus on organized company/platoon sports. On none
alternating Friday’s the training will focus on the Cadet’s Challenge (PT) events. Cadets
should consider doing some kind of PT own their own 5 days a week-outside of the
JROTC scheduled PT, start low and build every week. Concentrate on running a
complete lap at your own pace without stopping, next is to complete two laps, then three
laps, the goal is to be able to complete 4 laps/1 mile without stopping by the final PT
test!
e. Special Team Practices. Specific dates and times for the Drill Team, Color Guard,
Raiders, and Rifle Team will be briefed by the coach in class, however, for general
planning purposes these teams will practice on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday
afternoons from 3:45 - 4:45 PM. Cadets are expected to complete a medical
examination/physical to participate. All cadets are encouraged to try out for any of the
JROTC teams. All cadets are encouraged to participate in the JROTC Service
Learning/Community Projects.TBD/TBA.
9. Materials/EQUIPMENT/RESOURCES:
a. Items required of cadets. All cadets must have a signed parental privacy act release and
statement of health, and most importantly the cadet’s personal data/emergency entry on
file to remain in and participate in JROTC. There are no exceptions to this policy. These
forms will be handed out in class to bring home, and cadets must return the signed release
within one week of classes beginning, or they will either be disenrolled from JROTC or
not allowed to participate in JROTC activities (in which case they would begin to receive
incompletes for the activities not participated in). All cadets must bring a notebook and
pencil or pen to class daily. All cadets will be required to have a serviceable pair of
running or good walking shoes and suitable physical training clothing (either shorts and tshirt, or sweatpants and shirt for colder months).
b. All cadets will be issued (and sign for) a complete, professionally cleaned U.S.
Army cadet uniform. It is the cadet's responsibility to maintain all uniform items in
good condition, including dry cleaning as needed. The Class B (green) pants and jacket
(if issued) must not be machine washed, but must be dry cleaned only!
If items of the uniform are lost or damaged, a debt card will be submitted to the
Registrar's Office, and it is the cadet's responsibility to replace items by paying for the
item. If the cadet is disenrolled from JROTC or leaves ARC, all uniform items must be
11
professionally cleaned and turned back into the JROTC Department, and all missing
items paid for, or they will not receive final grades and transcripts from the school.
b. Merit/Demerit Policy. Cadets receive demerits for inappropriate behavior/substandard
performance and merits for exceptional/superior behavior. These are factored into daily
and other grades, and may have a large impact on the cadet's final grade (either positive
or negative). Every cadet should strive to get as many merits and as few demerits as
possible. At the end of each semester, each cadet's total merits and demerits will be
computed. Merits will cancel out demerits on a one for one basis. If there is an excess of
merits left over, they will be added to the conduct grade for a maximum grade of 100.
Excessive demerits will be deducted from the conduct grade. Excessive demerits may
also be worked off by cadets performing extra duty for the JROTC Department.
c. Uniform Wear and Appearance Standards. When wearing the uniform, a cadet is a
visible representative of U.S. Army JROTC, and will act accordingly. When the
uniform is worn it will be worn correctly at all times, and be complete, even if the
cadet is not in a JROTC class. Civilian clothes will not be mixed with the military
uniform at any time. The uniform will also be kept clean, and the shoes cleaned as
needed. Maintaining the uniform is the responsibility of the cadet. Cadets will be
inspected in JROTC classes for their uniform and appearance, and receive a grade, as
well as given merits or demerits as appropriate.
Personal appearance and grooming standards will adhere to JROTC policies. Cadets
are not allowed to be unshaven (unless there is a signed doctor's excuse), and both male
and female cadets must maintain a neat haircut and hairstyle that allows the hat to be
worn properly. Male cadets must be clean-shaven, and are specifically prohibited from
wearing ponytails, braids, and cornrows, designs cut into the hair, twists or dreadlocks.
Males are not allowed to wear earrings while in uniform, and females must wear small,
conservative earrings. Females are not allowed to wear strange nail polish colors, or
have excessively long nails. Both male and female cadets are not allowed to wear nonnatural colors in their hair, and female cadets must ensure their hair is not touching
the collar while in uniform so the length of the hair does not exceed or touch the
collar.
e Refusal to Participate in JROTC Activities. Cadets refusing to participate in drill,
Cadet Challenge, physical training or any other activities will be penalized appropriately.
Cadets are part of a team and are both expected and required to participate in all activities
and events.
Unless there is a valid medical reason why they can't participate, for each occurrence of
non-participation the cadet will receive a zero for their participation grade for that day
and 5 demerits. If more than two instances, the cadet will be given JROTC detention, and
12
the parents will also be notified. If the behavior continues, the cadet will be reduced in
rank, referred for school detention, and possibly be dis-enrolled from JROTC.
11. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR CADETS AND PARENTS:
a. Any other damaged items (military/school) will be paid for by the cadet if it is found
that the cadet willfully destroyed or damaged equipment. Other punishment such as
demerits or detentions may also be assigned.
b. If you encounter difficulty in your JROTC subjects, or any other course, don't be afraid
to ask for assistance. Your Instructors are available to assist you and help you succeed
(and not just in JROTC). Instructors are also available to confer with parents. Due to
class schedules or other requirements, Instructors may not answer the phone immediately.
If there is no answer on the JROTC phones (706) 737-7168, parents should call the main
office (706) 737-7152 to leave a message or schedule an appointment. The Instructors
will call you back as soon as possible after receiving your message.
c. All cadets will be in their respective classrooms prior to the tardy bell. All students will
assume the position of parade rest by their seats and remain that way until told to take
their seats. Cadet class leaders will report to the Instructor that the class is present and
who is absent.
d. Cadet rank is not automatic, but is earned. All promotions are based on the cadet's
performance in class and drill, academic grades, uniform wear and personal appearance,
and overall conduct.
e. All Instructors will be addressed by their military ranks. Cadets will also address other
cadets by their ranks when participating in JROTC activities.
f. All cadet leaders (officer and NCO) are expected to conduct the day to day business of
supervising and running the ARC Musketeer Battalion.
They are also expected to set the example in discipline and appearance standards for all
cadets in JROTC, whether in JROTC class or any other class.
g. A "C" or below in JROTC at mid-semester is a clear indicator that the cadet either
lacks interest in JROTC or is not performing to standard, provided there is no obvious
learning disability. Any grade below a "C" in JROTC is inexcusable and is typically the
result of excessive demerits, uncorrected behavioral or discipline problems, failing to
wear the cadet uniform or not wearing it correctly, no effort to earn merits, and a general
total disregard for the requirements of the course. Bottom line: all of the instructors will
do all we can to help a cadet.
13
h. Parents/Cadets can expect to incur some financial cost for cadet(s) to attend/participate
in some OPTIONAL activities associated with the ARC JROTC program: Estimate Only!

In an effort to address increased plagiarism made possible by electronic
communications, ARC has subscribed to a service called Turnitin.com. This
service compares student papers to an extensive database. Here are the guidelines
we will use:
• Teachers will check student papers for plagiarism through a variety of means,
including but not limited to personal research and plagiarism software provided
by Turnitin.com. Teachers will use such reviews to instruct students regarding
appropriate use of secondary source materials. In the case of clear plagiarism,
however, discipline (including failing grades) may be imposed. Turnitin.com
review includes a comparison of student papers to documents in a reference
database, the Internet, and other available sources. Submitted papers will become
a part of the turnitin.com database for plagiarism detection.
• Students and parents agree that by submitting student papers for grading and
credit, they understand and agree to this review for their papers.
• Students must abide by the Richmond County School System Acceptable Use
Policy when working on RCSS computers, regardless of whether they are using
turnitin.com or other programs.
