WELCOME LETTER
Dear Parents and Guardians,
We are happy to have each and every student, parent, and guardian as part of our AFJROTC Aerospace Science Program. All essential items such as books and uniforms are provided at no cost. Participation in our program does NOT obligate the student to military service.
The mission of the AFJROTC program is to “Develop Citizens of Character Dedicated to Serving Their Nation and Community.” Our objectives are: to instill values of citizenship, community service, personal responsibility, and a sense of accomplishment in our high school students/cadets. This is not a military recruitment class and there is no military service obligation for taking this course. Course material includes leadership (to include drill & ceremony), topics from Aviation History (AS-I) to the Exploration of Space (AS-III), and physical training. Classes may have guest speakers and/or go on field trips related to the subject material.
In addition to learning about civilian and military aviation, AFJROTC teaches students about core values, citizenship, and civic responsibility. Our goal is to instill in each student the values of citizenship, service to the United States and community, personal responsibility, and a sense of accomplishment. Furthermore, classes are structured around accountability, mutual respect, integrity, and self-discipline.
For extra-curricular activities, we offer drill and color guard teams to compete in JROTC sponsored drill meets, a model rocketry club, and physical training teams. In addition, field trips are scheduled to enhance their knowledge of aviation and to promote service to others. We will also visit local military bases, air museums, and attend various sport and drill competitions.
We promise a well-rounded year, full of fun and excitement, as we work hard, learn all we can, and succeed together…AIM HIGH!
