Students are required to enroll in the college preparatory curriculum. (See pg. 6 in the course guide) Courses that do not meet college core requirements may meet high school graduation guidelines or may be considered for elective credit only. Your school guidance counselor is available to assist you with your educational plan and can help you determine and select the appropriate types of courses.

The Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps Program is for students in grades 10-12. The curriculum covers Aerospace History, Science, Space, Honors Ground School and Leadership. Career-minded students will learn about jobs in the Air Force that will provide important opportunities for the future. Although there is NO OBLIGATION to go into the military, students who complete the Aerospace Science Program in AFJROTC may be able to enter the military at a pay grade higher than most enlistees and be eligible for college scholarships. All AFJROTC cadets will be required to wear the uniform and participate in military drill and ceremonies. Cadet dress uniform, insignia, utility uniform and JROTC textbooks will be provided at no cost. Students will be responsible for the proper care of these uniforms, which will require dry-cleaning before returning them at the end of the school year. Lost or damaged uniforms will be charged back to the students. Students will also be responsible for purchasing their own military boots. Since this is a new program and our goal in 3 years is to offer all three AFJROTC courses a student’s grade level will be considered when enrolling. Therefore all applicants need to make sure that they have an alternate elective chosen if they are unable to take this course based on grade level requests and availability.
