FAIRMONT HIGH SCHOOL JROTC

The Fairmont High School JROTC program offers students challenges and opportunities to:

  • Sharpen communication skills

  • Promote and encourage citizenship through participation in community service projects

  • Develop leadership potential

  • Strengthen self-esteem

  • Improve physical fitness

  • Provide incentives to live drug free

Army JROTC is active in more than 1,460 high schools worldwide: in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Asia, Europe, and the Caribbean. Contrary to popular belief, the program is not designed to steer students toward a military career. Our objective is to teach young people to maximize their potential and talents.

Army JROTC can work for our young people. It can prepare them for life by providing a framework for the qualities (skills, knowledge, and positive attitudes) that will help them succeed. It helps enhance qualities such as courage, candor, competence, commitment, and character. JROTC offers many opportunities for teamwork, advancement, and self-enrichment.

By enrolling in Army JROTC and joining the ranks of millions of other cadets who know the meaning of success, our young people will be taking the first step towards a promising future.
