Welcome

This webpage is designed for your knowledge about the JROTC program here in Covert High School. We hope you enjoy what we have created. Thanks for visiting come again.

The United States Army's Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps, or JROTC, 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. Its focus is reflected in its mission statement, "To motivate young people to be better citizens." It 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.

Junior ROTC is an elective high school course taught by retired military personnel at selected private and public high schools throughout the United States and its territories. It is also taught abroad through the Department of Defense Schools System, which primarily serves the dependents of military personnel stationed overseas.

To motivate and develop young people is the goal of Junior ROTC. To accomplish this goal, it combines classroom instruction and extracurricular activities oriented on attaining an awareness of the rights, responsibilities, and privileges of citizenship; developing the student's (Cadet's) sense of personal responsibility; building life skills and providing leadership opportunities.

Cadets are organized into units along military lines and are taught by retired military personnel, however, Junior ROTC does not recruit students for military service. Instead, its focus is on developing young people and orienting them positively in preparation for whatever role in life they might choose. It is in this sense that Junior ROTC is part of the Army's service to the nation.

The program is also a stimulus for promoting graduation from high school and focus on pursuit of one's life work. The title of the Program of Instruction (POI) is "Leadership Education and Training" (LET). It also provides instruction and rewarding opportunities, which will benefit the student, the community, and the nation.
